This study comprehensively examines the latest advances in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) breeding to improve agronomic traits such as yield, disease resistance, and nutritional quality. Focus on developing varieties that meet market needs and consumer preferences, using both traditional and modern breeding techniques; Explored genetic diversity and adopted molecular breeding approaches to address biotic and abiotic stresses, highlighting significant increases in yield and nutrient content through targeted breeding programs. The findings highlight the potential of combining phenotypic selection with advanced genomic tools to accelerate the development of high-quality sweet potato varieties that contribute to food security and economic growth, especially in areas vulnerable to climate change and resource constraints.
