“…These justify the need to adjust sweetpotato breeding objectives to develop non-sweet sweetpotato cultivars in Ghana to raise its standard to a staple food status. This is because according to Lebot (2010), although not thoroughly been investigated, the hundreds of sweetpotato cultivars found in Papua New Guinea and Island Melanesia, are low in sugar content, allowing an important daily consumption. Sweetpotato varieties that suit staple consumption must be non-sweet with sugar content less than 12% (Kays et al, 2005).…”
