Kazakhstan has started experimentally cultivating sweet potatoes for South Korea, Tengrinews reports citing Darkhan Balpanov, the leader of the joint project.

The scientists planted several hundred bushes of sweet potato in three areas of Kazakhstan in May: near Shymkent in Kazakhstan's south, near Karaganda in Kazakhstan's center and in Stepnogorsk in Kazakhstan's further north. The sprouts were provided by the foreign participants of the joint project.

Balpanov said that there was a clearly visible dependence between the growth dynamics of the sweet potato and the climate of the regions where it was planted. Harvesting has already begun in southern Kazakhstan, whereas in the other, colder areas, the root crop has not yet ripened.
