“…On the other hand, in Latin American countries (8.8–9.7–14.9) and the United States of America (16.5–22.5–24.4), crop yields increased significantly even with a lower harvestable area, compared to Asian countries. As documented by other authors [ 48 , 49 ], between 1961–2010, Brazil, Cuba, and Haiti were major producers (5.2 ± 2.0 × 10 4 Ha/3.9 ± 2.3 × 10 5 tons; Table S1 ). Success stories in novel agricultural practices (e.g., poly-cross nurseries) have been documented in other Latin American countries, such as Peru and Bolivia, where SP is a part of their culinary history [ 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”

“…Moreover, root and tuber crops that provide both food and energy with a low environmental cost (such as SP) are particularly beneficial for the economic progress of small farmers—a mandatory action to achieve the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1.0, 2.0, and 7.0 [ 43 ]. However, many specific market reports clearly indicate an increasing trend in the importation and regional production of SP, jointly driven by the international consumer demand, novel retailing, and distribution channels, but mostly a climbing market share pushed by China as the leading producer [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ].…”

Sweet potato (SP; Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) is an edible tuber native to America and the sixth most important food crop worldwide. China leads its production in a global market of USD 45 trillion. SP domesticated varieties differ in specific phenotypic/genotypic traits, yet all of them are rich in sugars, slow digestible/resistant starch, vitamins, minerals, bioactive proteins and lipids, carotenoids, polyphenols, ascorbic acid, alkaloids, coumarins, and saponins, in a genotype-dependent manner. Individually or synergistically, SP’s phytochemicals help to prevent many illnesses, including certain types of cancers and cardiovascular disorders. These and other topics, including the production and market diversification of raw SP and its products, and SP’s starch as a functional ingredient, are briefly discussed in this review.

“…The pooled analysis data confirmed that the accession Ib 73 recorded more dry matter content of 32.11% and the accession Sree Kanaka recorded less dry matter content. White fleshed accession Ib 73 had high dry matter content over orange fleshed CO 5 and Sree Kanaka, which corroborates that the white fleshed varieties were more preferable than orange fleshed varieties by farmers as the dry matter content was positively correlated with yield (Solankey et al 2015, Mello et al 2021. Dry matter content might depend on the genetic variations, physiological factors and soil moisture content, etc (Senanayake et al (2013).…”

From the study it was noticed that winter sweet potato crop (first season) recorded higher tuber yield due to more utilization of photosynthates, and optimum temperatures for tuberisation and tuber bulking. Second season crop (summer to early monsoon crop) recorded higher vegetative growth which was due to more sunlight and higher temperatures during the crop period which promoted vegetative growth. The pooled analysis of two season’s data revealed that genotype Ib 73 recorded higher tuber length, number of tubers per vine, single tuber weight, tuber yield/vine and marketable tuber yield per hectare, maximum dry matter content, which had a positive correlation with tuber yield. Less weevil infestation percentage was recorded in Ib 73, it might be due to the characteristic feature of thin vine with more latex content. One of the important quality parameters is β-Carotene content in the tuber, which was recorded maximum in the variety Sree Kanaka, thus it may be recommended for the alleviation of malnutrition in children. However, Ib 73 excelled other genotypes in terms of yield and cooking quality characters with low TSS and total sugar content, hence it can be recommended for commercial cultivation among the farmers by replacing potatoes for culinary purpose.
