HarvestPlus is a global alliance of research institutions and implementing agencies that work together to breed and avail to farmers high yield crops for better nutrition. In Uganda, it is coordinated by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
HarvestPlus decided to help sweet potato farmers in Uganda to add value to their produce by using Sorroti Sweet Potato Producers Association (SOSPPA) because they have been growing sweetpotato for the last three decades.
