Seed Potato Storage
There are two growing seasons in Uganda. Potatoes are a staple. Seed potatoes are saved from each crop to start the next. These have been piled in the back of thatched huts. The St. Augustine Community Love Programme noted that these often rotted during the few weeks between seasons. Three times, TILT has donated funds for construction of simple ventilated secure buildings with racks for potato storage. This solved the problem of rot loss and allowed sales of some of their supply and donation of other seed potatoes to impoverished families.
