MARKIES POTATO SEED

Markies is a highly popular potato variety known for its versatility, particularly in crisping and chipping. This white-skinned potato produces large, oval-shaped tubers and matures in about four months, offering a high yield. It is especially favored for making French fries (chips) due to its excellent frying characteristics and taste. The variety maintains low sugar levels for an extended period, ensuring superior cooking quality.

 

Markies is in high demand across Kenya, particularly among processors, hotels, and restaurants, making it a top choice for those in the food industry. Agrico EA is a trusted supplier of Markies-certified potato seeds, available in two sizes: Seed size 2 at KES 70 per kilogram and Seed size 1 at KES 84 per kilogram.

 

The seeds are accessible in Nairobi and Nakuru. With the growing popularity of chips as a preferred meal among young and urban consumers, the demand for the Markies variety continues to rise. Its late-maturing nature (120 days) and consistent quality make it a reliable choice for farmers and businesses alike.
