In April 2025, the National Potato Council of Kenya (NPCK) continues to play a key role in enhancing market transparency and supporting evidence-based decision-making within the potato value chain. By systematically collecting and analyzing ware potato price data from major urban markets—including Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret, Meru, Kajiado, Nakuru, Isiolo, and Nyeri—NPCK provides stakeholders with critical insights into current price trends. These towns represent strategic hubs for both potato production and consumption, making them ideal for tracking national pricing dynamics. Data is collected twice weekly (Tuesdays and Thursdays), enabling a reliable snapshot of market conditions that guides producers, traders, processors, and buyers in aligning their operations with real-time market realities.

To enhance accessibility and stakeholder engagement, NPCK disseminates this information through its official website and social media channels, ensuring that everyone from smallholder farmers to institutional buyers remains informed. The accompanying graph provides a visual summary of the average ware potato prices recorded during the month.
