Rwanda is one of the highest producers of sweet potatoes in Africa, with more than 80 kgs per capita produced annually (CIP, 2013). In Rwanda, sweet potatoes are mainly grown by women. Initially seen as a poor people's crop, sweet potatoes gained acceptance with the introduction by the CIP and RAB of new orange-fleshed sweet potato varieties with higher yields and better tastes than traditional varieties.
