In total, 60.3% of households planted OFSP, and 40.0% bought OFSP, mostly from farmers within the community. Orange-fleshed sweet potato consumption was associated with the presence of children aged less than 5 years in the household ( P = .018), production of OFSP ( P &lt; .001), purchasing of OFSP ( P &lt; .001), and respondent having knowledge on health benefits of OFSP ( P = .014).
