Storage facilities are necessary for the local potato farmers to stabilise and prevent low prices during harvest. Food security in Kenya and Tanzania can only be accomplished if the storage methods and techniques are largely improved and professionalised.

They also indicated that they intended to at least double their storage capacity. More are expected to follow.
