However, further consultations are going on with a view to incorporating the National Potato Council input before finalization of the draft policy. Subsequently, a Cabinet Memorandum currently in draft form will be presented to the Cabinet to await further guidance. (b) The benefits of the policy as stated in the draft National Roots and Tuber Crops Policy are; the importance of these crops as food crops, which has gained increased importance due to their role in food security, their ability to withstand drought as well as their potential for commercial processing.
