Two potato varieties bred at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee have been recommended for release in Kenya thanks to the concerted efforts of AHDB, SASA, Seeds2B Africa - part of the Syngenta Foundation - and the Institute’s commercial subsidiary, James Hutton Limited.

Hutton varieties Gemson and Lady Balfour, along with free variety Cara, made the grade after a trial of ten potato varieties at three separate farms over two seasons.
