Growing sweet potato for sale in the highlands

Abstract

One of the major food problems faced by Papua New Guinea is the very large amount of rice that is imported each year. One of the best ways to overcome this problem is to help villagers  grow sweet potato for sale. This can be sold to institutions  and through the urban markets. Already very many village people throughout the highlands are growing sweet potato for sale. It is now a very large industry. This article is written for completely commercial producers.
