Farmer Tests Waters With New Potato Seed

Serinane-based Seate says she has become the first farmer in Botswana to plant potatoes using seeds and not the usually tubers.

Last year, she went to an agriculture fair outside Botswana and she found a potato seed called True Potato Seed (TPS), which has never been used in Botswana. After hearing success stories about the seeds particularly in India, she bought it and approached the agricultural department to assist on how that can be possible to be planted in Botswana.
