NPCK collects and disseminates the prevailing ware potato market prices in major towns i.e. Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret, and Nyeri. This information is usually collected twice a week i.e. Tuesday and Thursday. The averages per week are calculated and shared with stakeholders through the NPCK website and its various social media platforms. It is useful to potato stakeholders particularly farmers and market outlets in their buying and selling decision-making. The table below shows the summary of the market prices per kilo in August and September 2022.
