MARKIES POTATOES: THE PERFECT FRY
As providers of certified seed potatoes, we proudly offer Markies potatoes, grown in the fertile lands of Nakuru, Kenya. These high-quality potatoes are in demand throughout Eastern Africa, particularly valued by processors, hotels, and restaurants for their exceptional frying characteristics and taste. The Markies variety is known for its suitability for French fries (chips) and crisps, making it a top choice for businesses in the food service industry.
The Markies potato variety features a yellow skin and is classified as late-maturing, typically requiring around 120 days to reach full maturity. This extended growth period allows the potatoes to develop their distinctive flavor and texture, resulting in a superior end product.
CULTIVATION AND CHARACTERISTICS
Markies potatoes exhibit an erect, tall growth habit and produce beautiful white flowers. The variety demonstrates good heat tolerance, making it well-suited to the climatic conditions prevalent in Eastern Africa. However, preventative measures are required.

Markies potatoes can be purchased through our network of collaborating 'aggregation hubs' located across various counties. These hubs serve as convenient points for smaller-scale farmers and businesses to access our quality seed potatoes.
