Paul Munene produces rooted apical cuttings from his net tunnel and sells to farmers in his village and beyond to multiply further and produce seed potato. His business is not only bridging the the seed potato gap but many farmers are seeing an improvement in their lives thanks to the easy access to the high yielding and clean starter material for seed.

Stella Mukiri has been farming potatoes since her husband passed on. She uses the rooted apical cuttings technology to produce clean seed in her 1 acre farm. Like farmers around her, she buys her rooted apical cuttings from Cecinta Nduru, a neighboring farmer who produces cuttings in her net tunnel. Through proceeds made by the sale of potatoes in her farm, Stella has upgraded her house and furnished it. She also now rears cows some of which were bought through through profit made from the sale of potato.

Cecinta Nduru, potato farmer from Meru County stands inside her rooted apical cuttings net tunnel. Cecinta, was one of the earliest farmers to adopt the rooted apical cuttings technology. Through support of CIP and FIPS Africa, she has now established her own net tunnel where she produces cuttings from motherplants and sells them to her fellow farmers. The farmers then multiply the cuttings in the farm to produce clean seed. Through this tunnel, she has availed clean seed to farmers and not only improved her life but the lives of the farmers around her who have adopted the technology.

Jane Muthoni Murugu has taken up the challenge to do potato farming since her husband passed on in 2020. Her husband multiplied seed potato from rooted apical cuttings in their farm and Jane is now actively doing the same. She buys her cuttings from her neighbor across the road, Cecinta Nduru who produces them in her net tunnel and has walked with Jane teaching her everything she needs to know about the technology. Jane has now moved into her new house that she says was constructed through proceeds from the sale of seed multiplied through apical cuttings.
