Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) is a government research institute with research programmes in food crops, horticultural and industrial crops, livestock and range management, land and water management, and socio-economics.
This includes several activities related to the potato crop.
The governmental research institutes in Kenya were reorganized under the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Act of 2013. Therefore the institute is now known as the Food Crops Research Institute and is part of the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO).
