BAC as a TVET has been well entrenched in CARP + seed potato production and Cassava production value chain.

Survey has shown that Potato production has increased for the past years making it a second highly consumed crop in Kenya. Potato production is acting as a source of income to many families. This has led many farmers venture into potato production. Currently farmers are facing greater challenge on access to certified seed potato. BAC through TAGDEV ( CARP+) started multiplying seed potato – variety of “ Shangi” , Kenya Karibu, and Dutch Robin as a mitigation strategy towards the acute shortage. This is in line with the Mission of Baraka College which emphasis on provision of practical education through a delivery of a responsive curriculum to produce competent farmers in Sustainable Agriculture for rural development.

Through Ruforum, the collaboration of Baraka Agricultural College – TVET and Egerton University in the CARP+ Project “Enhancing Access to High Quality Seed Potato for Improved Productivity and Income of Smallholder Farmers in Nakuru County”; has created a very good network and collaboration of key stakeholders; Such as Researchers (Rapid multiplication techniques) National Potato Council of Kenya, farmers, processors, Government, and many others.
