These roots have a long-irregular shape, red skin and are of medium size, weighing, on average, 300 g and measuring 14 x 6 cm. The first biofortified sweet potato cultivar of the Campinas Agronomic Institute reaches an average yield of 43.9 t/ha and is recommended for planting in the state of São Paulo to supply the domestic market and for export.
