Actually, what I had in mind was the bush market.. the farm.
Location tinz..u know.
Beats me we eat yam all the year round as kids?

We still eat yam all year round. Just work and earn more.

If the people with the most murny(billions/trillions of naira) in a country can't spend it on political reformation during situations like this




Then it remains an economy thatz not progressive

THE LAST I CHECKED, YAM TRAVELLED TO GHANA.

My friend in Ghana said in his country , yam has become gold too, so I asked him why since I already knw they don't have bandits who stop people from going to farm and he said the reason is because the rate at which yam is being exported has grown exponentially.

What about ours? Why is yam scarce and expensive ?

Tokskob2008:
Lol..... Yam is pretty available all over but it's the dry ones you will find and the least size starts from 4k. No matter how good your bargaining power is, aboki price will humble you when it comes to yam levels.

I bought 5 for 20k yesterday. Omoh. I wept...


But upon tasting the yam... Omoh. That yam was dope!

Damn.

Lots of yam plenti plenti available here:

I remember the good times in this country. Days of kobo (coins). Even as a Lagosian there was no time of the year we didn't eat my family's favourite food- Yam.
If my mum buys yam, the amount she cooks and the way it is cooked would give me a foresight if we were going to eat it with fried eggs, fish sauce, butter or (when prayer don answer) pounded yam. The way we were brought up, you aren't meant to ask your mum what she's going to cook... especially if we have a case we are being reprimanded for (a family of four boys, so we get a lot of those).

My wife knows say I no dey mess with my stomach.
Yam…the very food. In the least, Yam and palm oil with salt to taste are happily wedded in an African stomach. I speak for the majority.
We dey chop! But not like before. Things don cost.
But Yam. Where Yam dey abeg?… to cut this torey short. Where are all my 'aboki' yam sellers? I leave work go market and what I saw was an apology for yam’ sake. Warris happening?

Nairalanders. Where I fit get YAM cheap and plenty too. I fit change my career to selling of YAM.

Make una show me front page. For YAM’ sake.

Come to Benue.

No vex o. For your Estate gate or for marketplace?

Ajah market smallest yam na 4k all those ones for outside estate U no fit buy am make u and aboki no fight so just respect urself go market quietly

Exponential increase in Japa is one of the obvious contributory factors. Everywhere you go in most western countries today, you see African Stores springing up in different sizes catering to the growing population of African immigrants.

It is more lucrative to export products like Yam than to sell to the local market. Nigerian exporters are unable to ship yams to USA for a long time and most yams come in through Ghana. These exporters buy in bulk from Nigeria, then bag in Ghana for export.

The easiest option for many struggling Nigerians for now is to bury their pride and experiment with yam-in-bags farming method or any other innovative approach for their personal family consumption. Buying at the market may be unaffordable for many for some time to come.

Very sad situation we've found ourselves in this country.
God will definitely do something for us in Jesus Name.

U are right but transporting it down is the problem.. I heard it's fvckn expensive. But how much is the cost of the average sized yam there?

whytediamond:

This very mentality hurts, is misguided and perversely dangerous.

I understand you may be saying this in good faith. But it's a mockery of the millions currently going to bed hungry in this country all because of 40% + inflation rate.

Pastoshizzy:
That is..as in..Yam in bags?..wait o.
Is that..?

its possible. People are doing it.

You can't buy yam, farri , rice and even plantains again cos of the very surprising prices

Travelled to Benue last week, couldn't find good yam to buy. Farmers are complaining of bandits attacking them and herdsmen ravaging their farmlands. It is well naija

Starting from August, yam will be very cheap especially in southwestern part of the country.

Where is StarCom??

If you want want to enjoy like before, you have to do something to get rid of APC.

Cocoyam don marry yam

I wish them a happy married life..

Racoon:
Farmers have been chased away from ariable farmlands by the menace of bandits and BH terrorists. So staple food crops like Yam are no readily available. So sad! Too bad!

God bless you my brother

I get yams plenty in my barn, I only give them freely to women, without collecting anything from them.

Ask yourself, who do you vote for?

You are likely to make a loss, too expensive for the sellers/traders. They didn't run away from trading in it for no reason. But go and try your luck sha

Was yam among the food baba promised the youth? I do not think so.
He said clearly cassava, garri, eba, and some times dodooo..

Many of the have been killed and many kidnapped. It was even manageable when it was only terrorists problem but now, those bandits are even worse. And we don't do serious farming in the south

Maybe they're exporting it when we're yet to be self-sufficient

Yam went to where it is being planted

Sweet Potatoes more nutritious to yam may be you just do not like them probably reasons known to you
