当布隆迪还是德国殖民地时,在1900年左右马铃薯被德国传教士引入布隆迪。1919年第一次世界大战之后,这片地区便由比利时管理,直到1962年才独立。
马铃薯作物的地方培植最初是缓慢的,直到20世纪30年代,马铃薯才成为合适生产区域的重要粮食作物。产量增加的推动因素部分来自于从比利时进口的新品种和清洁种子。1979年,布隆迪政府在比利时的协助下,制定了马铃薯改良 ("d'Amélioration de la Pomme de Terre") 方案,该方案委员会在布隆迪农业科学研究所(ISABU)的主持下开展工作。
布隆迪最适合种植马铃薯的地区是与卢旺达和刚果民主共和国东北边界的尼罗河-刚果分界的高地地区。
