Improving potato yields and livelihoods in Georgia with innovations and training

Share this to :

The potato may be known as the “second bread” in Georgia, but the country’s average potato yield is well below the crop’s productive potential. This gap is largely due to farmers planting low quality seed potatoes, which is why the CGIAR International Potato Center (CIP) has partnered with small-scale farmers, government institutions, the Georgian Farmers Association, and private enterprises to build a seed system to produce healthy potato planting material, while providing farmers with agronomic training.
