Dear colleagues,
Can anyone tell me how many varieties of OSP have been released in Ethiopia? 

I am also interested to know what vine availability is like in SNNPR and Tigray. 

And does CIP/SPHI have ongoing projects promoting OSP in Ethiopia? We'd like to consider and discuss using participatory radio in this context.

best regards
Karen

Dear Karen,

About six OFSP have been released in Ethiopia. There are also ongoing CIP projects. I will contact the CIP representative of SNNPRG and link him with you if you need more information. Currently I am on study leave and I am working on improvement of OFSPs in Ethiopia.

With best regards,
Fekadu Gurmu Balcha

Lam.] COLLECTIONS MAINTAINED AT HARAMAYA UNIVERSITY, EASTERN ETHIOPIA".my research project having the following feature among those it includeds appreciable number of sweet potato accession(116 entries ) which obtained from Asian vegetable centers, Nigerian vegetable centers and Ethiopia  i undertake physical characterization  laboratory analysis ( total sugar, reducing sugar, TSS, pH, total starch content, color and shape , yield and yield related traits, phenological  and growth traits, dry matter, specific gravity, moisture content and peel content) .these all parameters (more than 27 ) was done for 116 accession. i tried to figure out which accession(s) attributed what and potentially used for which purpose(s)......  finally i want to say that i knew the sweet potato very well and i want to share any thing about the crop and if i get the chance i will do further research on this crop if any one of you participated me in your project  especially those NGO's working with this crop ( CIP, FAO, EARO, ect )  my working area.  northern parts of the countries having a potential to produce appreciable amount of yield so if i get the chance too i will do much work about this crop

Dear  sir
after awarm  greeting.

 I have  research on the  biofertilzation  of sweetpotato and in  need of planting  materia for  two cultivars of Orange  fleshed sweetpotato with high beta carotene and  high dry  matter content.
my  research  is  in line with CIP main  goals and intiatives that  target to  replace  the  white fleshed sweetpotat  with OFSP  to improve Nutrition  and combat vitamin A Deffeciency(VAD).
 wishing  you  all  the  best.
