The approval of Malaika and Glen potato varieties is more than a scientific milestone —it is hope for farmers. @IITA_CGIAR @icipe @Cipotato @JamesHuttonInst @CgiarFarming @IITA_CGIAR @CGIAR @kalromkulima @KephisKe @FIPS_Africa @NemAfrica
🥔 Malaika & Glen potato varieties are a big step in the fight against PCN. Through strong partnerships, including NemAfrica’s involvement, these varieties are now approved & moving into large-scale seed multiplication @IITA_CGIAR @icipe @Cipotato @JamesHuttonInst
