Economic advantage of sourcing certified sweetpotato planting materials from low to high disease pressure areas versus in situ multiplication at the latter por Kwikiriza, N., Namanda, S., Zziwa, S., Kyalo, G., McEwan, M., Low, J.W., Rajendran, S., Mwanga, R.O.M.

“…Results showed that vine multiplication in the low-SPVD areas incurred a cost of US$ 1.8 per bag of 1,000 of disease-free cuttings, compared to US$ 2.5 in high-SPVD areas, with profit margins up to 30% higher in low-SPVD areas. Although the cost of production per unit of vines was lower in the low SPVD pressure areas, sourcing disease free vines and subsequent transportation to high SPVD endemic areas, was not economically feasible due to high multiple transport costs. …”
