In support of Malawi governments commitment to diversify and trans-form the country’s agriculture into a sustainable and economically viable sector, CIP, with Funding from Irish Aid is implementing a project entitled Root and Tuber Crops for Agricultural Transformation in Malawi.
The project is designed as a national research and development (R&D) program with overall coordination by CIP and aims to increase the con-tributions of Root and Tuber crops to food security, nutrition and in-comes of Malawians through harnessing advances in R&D and scaling up through the potato, orange fleshed- sweet potato and cassava value chains to meet the demand by farmers, consumers, processors, and trad-ers in Malawi.
Within the 5-year project duration, at least 160,000 faming households
(HH) will adopt improved technologies and practices, and at least 500,000 consumers will benefit from nutritious RTC foods.
