Growing of the Kenya Irish potato requires a range of seeds or tubers. These, depending on variety can germinate fast. You ought to choose the variety that is immune to late blight infection to reduce vegetative wastage and improve yields.

The Kenya Irish potato takes only four months to mature from the date of germination. This is as opposed to more temperate regions of the world like the Western Hemisphere where frost can delay growth by an additional two months. Ideally, the potato provides higher potential in production when grown under cool but sunny conditions such as those of Central and Western Kenya.

Our Kenya Irish potatoes are not harvested until they turn into full maturity to ensure that their sizes are full. This usually happens when the top stalks have turned yellow or withered altogether. Then one can use hand or fork jembe, a kind of easy-to-manipulate, two-sided hoe to ease the tuber off the light soil in a barrage of seeds, some big, some small.

To ensure proper maintenance, Kenya Irish potatoes require easy handling. For instance during maturity, we advise our family growers to wait until about 14 days from the onset of withered tops before ploughing the potatoes from underneath. This is because the tubers are resistant to sharp edges after these two weeks of withering even when lifting them roughly. Tubers that are not fully developed should undergo fast storage and equally serve as the first transportation priority since they go bad earlier than fully developed potatoes.
