Since 2023, Fraxen Consult Ltd, is an official distributor of Agrico certified seed potatoes in Tanzania. Teddy Mcha, director from Fraxen, is determined to supply the local Tanzanian farmers with quality seed potatoes to improve the local yields, financial situations and improve the potato sector overall.
After a succesfull operation in Kenya by Agrico they decided to expand their business to Tanzania. Through good agricultiural practices (GAP), potato training and the use of certified seed potatoes Tanzanian farmers can experience enormous boosts in their potato business.
We currently have three potato varieties registered in Tanzania: Arizona, Markies and Manitou. These varieties were tested several years on trial fields from CDPIT (Center of Development for the Potato Industry in Tanzania) and showed good yields under typical Tanzanian climate.
Door te kiezen voor bestaande Agrico rassen, kunnen Tanzaniaanse boeren zeer snel opschalen en hun inkomsten verbeteren.
