Sweet Potato Farming: Roots 🍠 vs. Vines 🌱

arming sweet potato for edible roots and farming sweet potato for vines (planting material) are two completely different worlds.

👉 Root production is more forgiving, focused on proper land prep, variety selection, fertilizer, and timely weeding. With the right management, you harvest nutritious, market-ready tubers that always have a demand.

👉 Vine production, on the other hand, is no easy feat. It requires specialized knowledge, strict disease and pest management, and consistent water supply especially now in the hot and dry season. If you’re the type of farmer calculating liters of water per plant, then trust us, vine multiplication is not your everyday venture. It is delicate, technical work that only experienced seed producers should handle.

✅ That’s where we come in. As experts in sweet potato vine multiplication, we ensure farmers get clean, healthy, and vigorous planting material. This guarantees strong crops, better yields, and healthier harvests.

💡 Our advice: Farmers should focus on root production (where the real food and money is) and leave vine multiplication to experts like us. Together, we strengthen the sweet potato value chain and ensure everyone benefits.

👉 Let’s grow sweet potato the smart way; roots in your fields, vines from us!

🌧️🍠 Rainy Season is Coming So Start Planning for Sweet Potato Cultivation Now! 🍠🌧️

Successful farming begins with proper planning. Before you put a hoe in the soil, think about these key steps:

1️⃣ Plan when to plant: This determines when you’ll harvest. Timing is everything, especially if you’re targeting specific market prices.
2️⃣ Plan what variety to plant: Don’t grow premium varieties like Orange-fleshed or Purple-fleshed potatoes only to sell them at local prices. These deserve premium markets, even exports.
3️⃣ Plan the size of your field: This helps you estimate your harvest in bags, so you can prepare logistics, transport, and packaging.
4️⃣ Plan your finances: Vines, agrochemicals, and fertilizers all affect the quality of your yield. Poor input = poor output = poor price.

Did you know this about Kandolo? 🤔🍠

When sweet potato is well kept, it doesn’t rot! Instead, it stays fresh underground and continues to feed the vines, keeping them alive and growing for up to 3 years.

That’s the beauty of nature… one root feeding life season after season. 💚

Sweet potato growing training to be facilitated soon. Note that due to network challenges and location logistical challenges we will instead have it recorded and shared via central link to access all files.

K100 for a 25kg bag of sweet potato at Soweto Market 🍠 🍠🍠

Have you ever noticed how sellers start reducing the quantity when supply runs short? Around this time of year, many farmers have already exhausted their harvests. The availability of 50kg bags in the market will soon drop drastically.

As we move into the heat of September and October, sweet potatoes will almost disappear from the market eventually only being sold in small heaps instead of 25kg sacks.

📊 Here is a hidden Lesson for you: Study prices and market trends so that this information helps you plan better. You’ll know when to plant so you can hit the market when prices are in your favour.

Interesting, isn’t it? 🌱💡
