3. What is Orange Flashed Sweet Potato (OFSP)?
A nutritious Orange-fleshed sweet
potato (OFSP) is rich in vitamin-A
variety is develop by International
Potato Center, Lima, Peru. Now It is
growing in popularity and
becoming an important strategy
to improve vitamin A deficiency
across the world.
4. International Potato Center (CIP)
The International Potato Center, known by its Spanish
acronym CIP, was founded in 1971 as a root and tuber
research-for-development institution delivering sustainable
solutions to the pressing world problems of hunger, poverty,
and the degradation of natural resources. CIP is truly a global
center, with headquarters in Lima, Peru and offices in 20
developing countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Working closely with our partners, CIP seeks to achieve food
security, increased well-being, and gender equity for poor
people in the developing world.
5. Introduction
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia lies between 15.2° and 32.6° north
and 34.1° and 55.5° east and the climate is generally mild in the
winter and dry and hot in the summer. Rainfall occurs in the winter
but never exceeds 100 mm per year in most regions.
Major crops include cereals (wheat, sorghum, barley and millet),
vegetables (tomato, watermelon, eggplant, potato, cucumber and
onions), fruits (date-palm, citrus and grapes) and forage crops
(alfalfa). Why not sweet potato?

6. Food Security through Orange Flashed
Sweet Potato
Food-based approaches have been reviewed and judged
to have a promising role in integrated strategies.
OFSP is a particularly promising food, because it is a
balanced food and also use in diversify ways in daily
diets.

14. Home-Based OFSP Processing
•Increase HH consumption
•Increase vitamin A intake by children, OFSP
complementary foods
•Increase vitamin A intake by women of reproductive age
•Increase the acceptance of OFSP varieties (incorporating
different recipes)
•Increase the adoption of OFSP for income generations
15. OFSP use as Small Cottage Industry at Rural Area
16. Global Challenges in OFSP Processing
• The double burden of malnutrition
• Promotion of processed products in the face of rising chronic
diseases in developing countries
• Issues of gender harmonization due to the commercialization of
OFSP production, rising household incomes can cause domestic
violence
• The continuously changing business environments, challenges
and opportunities for rural farmers with private sector
partnership[s]
18. Nutrition Security through Orange Flashed
Sweet Potato
CIP is developing linkages with other
biofortification and diet diversification efforts as
well as with wider nutrition and education
programs to realize the full nutrition potential of
OFSP at large scale.
The progress on further biofortification of sweet
potato to increase iron and zinc levels will produce
varieties with these traits in the coming years.
