Egerton University is partnering with the National Potato Council of Kenya (NPCK) and the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) in a bid to ensure sustainable potato production in the country.

In July 2024, the three institutions joined forces to launch a three-year project called the Kenya Sustainable Potato Initiative (KSPI), aimed at promoting sustainable potato production through adopting climate-smart potato farming practices. The goal is to improve yields and profitability.
