		<description>Have been multiplying sweet potato vines for One Acre Fund in Kitale under pivot irrigation which has gone better than expected. We have 5 varieties ( 3 orange flesh and 2 cream flesh) which we would like to sell as OAF have taken as much as they need and we are left with a surplus - any ideas?</description>

		<description>Great initiative. As a medium scale sweet potato farmer based in Kabondo, also in Western Kenya, a problem we have faced over the years is  a complete lack for extension services for sweet potato farmers meaning we have no access to expert advice or even varieties of sweet potato vines like the Orange Fleshed sweet potato slips. 

I hope that the project can reach out to other farmers and cooperatives in the Western Kenyan region to share knowledge but more importantly, to share the vines to farmers who mostly rely on traditional and less nutritious varieties. From my experience; after the first planting season, the vines normally multiply fairly rapidly, so we only need an initial supply of OFSP slips in order to propagate the seeds to thousands of farmers and hopefully, millions of consumers in Kenya. Cooperation and networking is key.</description>
