Using quantitative, qualitative and sensorial data collected from western (Kabale) and central (Rakai) Uganda, this paper identifies and describes gender-responsive traits preferred in varieties for the boiled potato market. These traits are aggregated into a product profile to support breeding programme design and decision-making that will increase probability of variety acceptance. An interdisciplinary and participatory methodology was used to collect data on socio-economic on trait preferences, processing and organoleptics and finally, to develop a lexicon through a sensorial panel. Characteristics that were important to both men and women, such as red skin and yellow flesh, are linked to market preferences. Women-only preferred characteristics such as big size and mealiness are linked to processing efficiency and eating quality. Besides agronomic traits, breeders must consider factors such as gender roles, social norms, and market preferences traits that guide farmers and other food chain actors in their selection of new varieties.
利用从乌干达西部（卡巴莱）和中部（拉凯）收集的定量、定性和感官数据，本文确定并描述了水煮马铃薯市场品种中受性别影响的偏好特征。这些特征被汇总成一个产品简介，以支持育种计划的设计和决策，从而提高品种被接受的可能性。采用跨学科和参与性方法收集了关于性状偏好、加工和感官特性的社会经济数据，最后通过一个感官小组制定了一份词汇表。对男性和女性都很重要的特征，如红色表皮和黄色果肉，与市场偏好相关。只有女性偏好的特征，如大尺寸和粉质口感，与加工效率和食用品质相关。除了农艺性状外，育种者还必须考虑性别角色、社会规范和市场偏好等因素，这些特征指导农民和其他食物链参与者选择新品种。
