National Potato Industry Policy, 2005
The objectives of this policy were to raise productivity in the industry through the provision of appropriate technology and services; develop and implement processes that will lead to increased empowerment of growers and other stakeholders; and develop and promote the use of standard packaging and weight measures which was put at 100 kgs per bag. However, the Kenya Potato Farmers Association (KENAPOFA) successfully lobbied and persuaded the Ministry of Local Government to stand behind the Gazette Notice and have the Minister stipulate in Legal Notice No. 113, the maximum size of bags in which potatoes can be bought. KENAPOFA officials are now also recognized enforcement officers. The Legal Notice requires all Local Authorities to enforce the maximum size (110 kgs) standard bag for potatoes.
