Experimental Auctions of Sweetpotato vines in the Great Lake Region: the use of a tool to contribute to understanding farmers demand for seed

On 1-2 November 2023, the International Potato Center (CIP), through the OneCGIAR’s Seed Equal Initiative (Work Packages 3 & 4) and the Program for Seed Systems Innovations for Vegetatively Propagated Crops in Africa (PROSSIVA) hosted a 2-day training in Mwanza, Tanzania for CGIAR and the Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (TARI) RTB staff on methods to estimate farmers demand for seed. Central in this training were the Experimental Auctions and Seed Tracing Studies, two tools from the Toolbox for working with Root Tuber and Banana Seed systems.
