Sweetpotato breeding activities in West Africa aimed to breed new improved populations and link with participatory varietal selection at national levels. This presentation highlights the breeding selection sites and their characteristics in Ghana, quality analysis such as minerals, sugars and β-carotene, and effects of cooking on sugars. Additionally, the accelerated breeding scheme (ABS) outline and field trials are shown. In conclusion, recommendations for multiples field trials, exploitation for heterosis, quality post-harvest handling and phenotyping under the new genomic tool for SP are given as recommendations for future progress activities
