Request for info on Nigeria

[Low, Jan (CIP-Nairobi)]

Thanks for you inquiry to the Knowledge Portal.  There are many different varieties of orange-fleshed sweetpotato.  The darker the orange, the more pro-vitamin A.   There are 2 released varieties in Nigeria:   Mother’s Delight, which is deeper orange, than King J.  I am copy Jude Njoku, the leader of the Nigerian sweetpotato program, so he can link you to a multiplier of planting material.

 

Regards,

 

Jan Low
