A Cost/Benefit Analysis (CBA) was conducted to determine the viability of sweetpotato post-harvest technologies introduced by the Sweetpotato Coalition Project. This analysis was found important to determine if expenditure in the post-harvest technologies namely juice production, vine production, chips, flour, and storage structures is economically viable for the target communities. The study was undertaken in Luweero and Mpigi as the project target districts, and Mukono, a non-project district.
