Tips to Be a Successful Potato Farmer

Potatoes are highland crops and they grow well in most major parts of the nation including Molo, Kinangop, Taita Hills, Yatta, Timboroa and parts of Laikipia.
Potatoes are classified according to the length of time they take to mature, which can be influenced by weather.
Early seed potatoes mature in 60-110 days. Planted towards the end of March, they are typically ready for lifting from late June or early July.
