World Potato Congress 2026: Tanzania–Kenya Partnership, Better Seed and Farmer Voices

What will it take to turn East Africa’s potato potential into stronger farming businesses, better livelihoods and regional trade? Join KilimoKwanza at the 13th World Potato Congress, held from 26–30 October 2026 at Sawela Lodge, Naivasha, Kenya, for a closer look at seed technologies, farmer experiences and partnerships shaping the sector. At the heart of this feature is the 28 October agreement between the Potato Council of Tanzania (PCT) and the National Potato Council of Kenya (NPCK)—a commitment to cooperate on knowledge and technology exchange, standards and quality, market access, research and capacity building. Hear from Abdalla Luvanda, PCT Board Member, Kimani Rugendo, NPCK Chairman, and other Congress participants as they discuss practical lessons, investment, opportunities for women and young people, and the work needed to translate agreements into action. Featuring original English and Kiswahili voices, with English subtitles. Watch, share and join the conversation: What should Tanzania and Kenya prioritise to make this partnership deliver for potato farmers?
