Yam seedling costs 400 Naira max. So, wgy should yams sell so costly ?

A plit can accomodate 600 tubers and would only need some table spoons of NPK fron start till harvest, so why the expensive price. Most Nigerians thesedays heartlessly and indiscrimately increases the orice of their products to take advantage of their fellow human beings. Thieves

the government should be at the forefront and be proactive in price regulations of essential food. But no, they'd rather buy houses In Dubai.

Medipharm:
Things are costly but this is exaggeration. Here the highest tuber goes for 6k

6k is still outrageous. Meaning that A current minimum wage earner of 30k can only buy 5 tubers in a month And possibly eat them raw.

This is no longer yam business.

You can think what you want

That is the Problem hmm that man and the who Yoruba is behind him anyway what do I know self

6k for a tuber of yam?

This is unbelievable!

Maybe I should start thinking of going back to the village to take up farming as a full time job o

₦6k per tuber is now a fact of life. At least in Lagos when I bought one two weeks ago

Then start a yam plantation. Don't you want to make money?

Last I confirmed somewhere in the north was 7k for a big tuber.
First, you've forgotten how many villagers were killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Benue state - mainly yam farmers. Yam supply has greatly reduced.
Then you forgot how many farmers in northern Nigeria have to pay bandits millions of naira before planting and harvesting. Cost of yam (food) production in those places are in all-time high.
You also forgot the sudden rise in food transportation costs because of fuel subsidy removal.
Now you forget that those farmers would also buy other stuff from the same markets as other people, where inflation has increased all prices. Won't they survive??

If you're indeed a farmer, you would know these things.

This is to tell how demonic APC supporters are. They are cruel, wicked and evil. ALL OF THEM!

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu... But, recall when GEJ used force on Boko Haram and how lots of their kingsmen came out to threaten GEJ. Elrufai in particular threatened to retaliate.

Buhari stated that "a fight against Boko Haram is a fight against the north". Also, when Jonathan's mercenaries were dealing with Boko Haram very hard, Buhari cried out that "Jonathan is killing northerners".

No pity whatsoever! Nigerians deserve everything they get!

I'm a farmer. As I write, I am in a farm settlement where I reside fully since last year. I am critiquing as a stake holder not an outsider. Farmers these days want to take advantage of buyers which was never the case in the days of our fore fathers.

how much is that small NPK now as compared to last year. How much is the labour cost presently. How much do other commodities sell. How much will the yam farmer buy a bag of rice or carton of spaghetti or tomatoes or onions and others in order to also feed his family comfortably from his yam sales......Abi you wan make the yam farmer sell so cheap and then can't afford to plant again because his sales couldn't even afford him food to eat let alone going back to farm.

Now, this is the problem I have with the North...

They're the ones causing the hardship and the same people crying about hardship.

We've been reading about Boko Haram demanding outrageous amounts of money from these poor farmers before giving them access to their farms.... The farmers in turn, will increase the price of the produce to meet up with the demands of the terrorist.

The politicians in the North that are using these terrorist to play politics are the same people speaking up against the current adminstration.

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu... But, recall when GEJ used force on Boko Haram and how lots of their kingsmen came out to threaten GEJ. Elrufai in particular threatened to retaliate.

What did ThiefNuibu and his ACN’s Lai Mohammed do then? Did they not say that it was unconstitutional to ban Boko Haram?


Our Yorubalokan people were playing politics with our country’s prosperity, security and welfare as Fayemi confessed about the 2012 fuel deregulation and subsidy removal protests.

They sowed a whirlwind and they are harvesting the seeds of storms, tornadoes and hurricanes.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

https://twitter.com/i/status/1150428613751320577


Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

In as much as this 10k per yam in the north sounds exaggerating, i have seen 6k own.

Before APC came into power when I was in Minna the Niger state capital, I do buy 5pcs (set) of yam for #300-#800 max.

When I was in Abuja 2017, my sister told me she bought a tuber for #700 and I said she wanted to do me 419. I never imagined a tuber of yam would get to 1k let alone above 5k. All thanks to APC.

forget this Internet lies bro...in Ekiti State presently you can buy 5 tubers #1500... Every household can afford yam here in Ikole so I don't know why we are making things hard for ourselves then we blame Tinubu for everything. Just imagine it that I bought 1 gala #100 and the next junction the other person was selling it #150 and we still blame Tinubu for everything. I'm not saying there is no hardship but we are making things hard for ourselves too just to make too much profit

Why are you describing our country in 2015 BC, when the clueless, corrupt and incompetent bloody civilian Jonathan was in charge?

Everything changed when ThiefNuibu alone made Buhari president in order to get his own Ebilokan turn to continue APC’s expired leadership failures.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

I bet 1 million you've never planted shit. Just coming on a faceless forum spitting guile fucking bullshit. Insecurity high transportation costs cost of materials such as fertilizer labour and machines and general cost of living have highly impacted purchasing price of yams. The return of subsidy will have an immediate impact on the price shikena

JagabanB:

U have videos of farms that framers can't access?

^^^


You know the truth. I am not going to argue the obvious with you.

This isn't a game. BAT's pussyfooting (like those before him) has had real consequences for the most vulnerable members of communities like those in Gwer West and Gwer East local government areas. These are communities that were solidly agrarian from time. Today they are shadows of what they once were.

I don't play these senseless propaganda games.

As at 2016, I used to buy the same 100 tubers for between 100 and 200 with joy in Minna. I used to buy half a bag of beans and sometimes Pakute rice with happiness. Look at what it has become today.

Without food, how does APC expect the suffering people to shut their mouths? APC pushed PDP out of power with all manners of stories. Never forward that Fayemi finally said that blocking GEJ from implementing subsidy removal was all politics. They played politics with it and now ask the same citizens to be patient with them. That’s so painful.

doyin01:
Some of you will just sit down from home and be typing nonsense..which farmers told you that they can't access their farms ??

So the fresh yam they sold for 10k fell from heaven ?? Or is it not from the same farm you claim they cannot access from that they still cultivate their yam from ?? I hate tinubu government but it is not everything you people will just be blaming government for... Nigerians also add to the problems of Nigeria.. People extorting each other and still blame government for corruption when individuals like them are also corrupt too..

Last Wednesday I bought tuber of yam for 3k on the mainland , then just yesterday I bought the same size of yam if not even smaller for 5k at ajah. Now you begin to wonder , why seller A sold for 3k. And seller B sold for 5k..is it not the same nigeria they cultivated the yams from?? Smh

^^^
It is possible for two things to be true at the same time. It is possible.

It is very possible for farm access to decline significantly...and yet some access is still possible to produce the yams you see in the market today.

You spoke about yam purchases you made on the mainland and in Ajah. This is a world away from farming communities in places like Gwer East and Gwer West. These yam hubs are under severe stress from heavily armed pastoralists. And there are several troubled places like that across Nigeria.

I agree with you that the cost of transportation, materials and insecurity in farms has added to the costs of produce. But the guy told you the fact about the matter. As we speak, most farmers who have succeeded with their yams this season have set price targets that are unimaginable. You may take your time to ask.

Farmers bluff with their products as huge buyers from big cities come with huge sums of money and are willing to purchase at the prices quoted, particularly the middle men. For those around the river Niger axis, they suffer a lot from flooding. Those who cannot harvest before the floods come, lose to flooding. Those whose communities are within the poor roads areas, lose with no access to the markets.
Others lose to bandits, terrorists, herdsmen and thieves in their communities.

There is no much difference if you purchase products right on the farms.

Governments have the responsibility to provide good roads and security to enable farmers feel secure and bring their products to the markets.

Funny guy.
When he sells yam at 1k, how then will he buy rice, tomatoes etc, pay his kid school fees or even buy not a car, but a motorcycle that cost over 1m. OK, he will sell 1000 tubers at 1k each Abi.
How will he buy diesel or petrol, enter transport or take his yam to the market for sale?
Oga, there is inflation, he has increased running cost and has to increase his prices to match inflation to enable him fund himself.

Did I say sell yam at 1k ? Tell me how many yams can you buy consistently at 10k ?
