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.

And that is why a foodstuff seller who bought a tuber of yam at benue for 1200naira decided to sell the same tuber of yam for 5000naira in lagos ?? 400% profit on just one tuber of yam?? Smh...

The funny thing is that those will bring all these things from the farm do not even claim it is fulani herdsmen or whatever that caused it..the excuse they all keep giving is that it is cost of transportation to other places that are making it expensive..and you begin to wonder if it is only a single tuber of yam that they will transport at once that made them to want to gain 400% on just a tuber of yam yet the same set of people will say government is selfish , heartless and greedy..meanwhile you are a citizen are doing exactly the same behaviour displayed by your government..you as a citizen is greedy too..because how will someone buy a yam for 1200 and sell for 5k..and claim it is transport that caused it ...is he or she buying their own fuel at 10000naira per litre ?? Or those that decided to sell that same yam for 2k in lagos are not transporting too Or they do not like money too?? Smh.. it is well

Believeintruth:


Say this thing in Kaduna market and they will beat you to a pulp. The way you guys gaslight and lie ehhhh

Una go Mouth yen yen yen and be spreading unverified information.. mention the kaduna market here and I will expose your lies..no market you want to mention in kaduna that I will not tell you about..kaduna is like my second home.. my family still live there till tommorow...farming is going on well in kaduna and it is only in few farms that fulani herdsmen disturb and even after harvest time in many cases..

Sonnobax15:

Good..


10k per yam? . Is it ayam that ayam they are selling?

It's exegerated. A tuber of yam, no matter the size, can't cost ten thousand Naira. Stop this panic game

[quote author=condralbedez post=131179438]Yam that use to be one of the cheapest food product before, Tinubu emerged as Nigerian president and everything skyrocketed!

Tell why God won't punish him and his evil supporters. [/quote

enter farm yourself and see that it it not easy, na me go carry my master degree farm for u, den sell at lesser price when compared to the input

Bizibi:
I think the problem is the price for bag of rice.....I noticed the price war between north and south sellers of farm produce. I also noticed when rice was increasing garri sellers increased theirs from the south.

No. I stay and interact with farmers daily. They have developed a strong appetite for excessive money. Let me shock you. Most farmers do not eat rice, but grow their potatoes and cassava they use for various foods like Garri, cassava flour etc. ice stayed with farmers on a day to day basis for over three years so i know their behaviors intimately

Shimbo96:
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

I stay in ikole, which market is that pls, odo ooro market, ikunri, ayedun, ayebode, ? just tell me. 50 big tubers of yam is 200k here sold in my presence in same ayedun market. 100 tubers of yam average size is about 500k here sold in my presence. what size is yours that you bought 5 tubers with 1500 naira.

so all this is driven by greed.....i hope they know they will be at loss because people are Changing their food menu. The woman I always buy yam always have limited stock of yams,she told me people don't buy them because of the price.
so who will be at loss in the end

They have become this way. They don't care. Even when we hire them to do labour jobs, many times we educated farmers pay thrice for a single job. They just want to collect and collect and collect exorbitant rates for everything, from logistics to labour to the sales of their farm produce. The educated elites in Nigeria do not support educated farmers. There are techniques to mass produce yams, I am talking of up to One Million yams in just two years that the local farmers do not know if. But does Nigeria as a nation provide funding for research and developments ? Nigeria is also suffering from it's innate wickedness in all these too

Gerrard59:


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!

Exactly.......

anonimi:


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.

How can you not get it.....

The North is playing the same politics with it....

I've explained this already....

They're hoarding food and using Boko Haram to cause food scarcity and price hike.

Recently, in Kano they said that the Emir tussle will cause more people to carry arms and might be more dangerous than what Boko Haram is doing....

You should know that the North is really trying to control this government but they never said anything all through Buhari's regime.

I will contact you when I am really ready for agriculture biz.....I feel there need to be a structured system that benefits both farmers and the consumers. Food is not supposed to be a luxury and if something right is in place the prices will be forced down.

You will meet me on that path already. Would be expanding to 1,000 acres next year enroute my team's target of 5,000 acres with heavy yam production in the system. Yams shouldn't retail more than 4,000 - 5,000 Naira per piece for any reason. I am currently working on a model to quash down pricing if maize, pepper and tomatoes 2024/2025

princepeter566:
Vote tinubu..
Get tinubu...
Enjoy tinubu....
We warned them but, they were concerned about Peter obi

Why did you bring Obi’s name in there when he wasn’t even the runner-up?
Tinubu’s concern was Atiku and Obi made it easy for him.
I warned during the last poll that the best chance to get Tinubu out is to vote massively for Atiku. Any other thought will continue to end in wishful thinking.
Also, Obidients, being logical without insulting people won’t kill you. Try it.

good luck and success on your agriculture journey. I actually have a 10 hectare farm inherited from my dad but I plan on getting 40 hectares for agriculture but my problem is getting good people to work with......

Beremx:
the problem with people like you is that you feign ignorance about security of farmers. Is it to difficult for you to believe that farmers especially those who plant yams can't access their farms? Why did you skip that in the gibberish you just wrote?

No mind him abi her, sometimes from observing how desperate and willing some people are with their writing I doubt if Nigeria will be normal again,I doubt

I have been in Kaduna and I have said it severally in Kaduna, can u recommend the market to me?
Coming onIine to post sh*t, if I didn't mention Benue, u wouId have recommended that I say it in a Benue market.
Recommend the market and bring ur minions to come and face me, also be ready to go on a ride to show us the farms that farmers can't enter.

This is good, this is good!!! So the so call minimum wage can only afford 7 tubers of yam.
And some APC governors says they are not aware of the hardship in the county. In due time they will all know.

The thing with personnel is continuous experimentation. That's what I've learnt so far because people would come in motivated from day one, ones they've gotten used to you, they begin to slack off work which ultimately leads to work decline

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.

U have videos of the farms they can't access?
U are talking too much now, every LG in Benue has been agrarian and still agrarian, it is how the people live their lives, I know all nooks and crannies in Benue, don't come here and Iie.

Yam cost gan, Na sweet potatoes i dey eat now

Back at you. Show me where I said yam should be sold at 1Kay first, prove to us you're not stvpid

lolz
it is simple
if the price of fuel goes down and the dollar rate goes down, every other thing will go down drastically because na this 2 factors dey control our economy.

so blame those that float the naira and removed subsidy without thinking about the push back. the farmers has no hand in it. you dont expect me to put 5k in cost of production and sell less.
consider the cost of labour, cost of transportation etc and they have all increased. or u think i will just plant it and boom i harvest

we go soon buy 1tuber for 100k
una never see anything

my friend I don't know what u are saying but I do believe u are speaking out of ur Asss. Where do u know in Benue state. Go to Zaki biam where majority of the yams comes from and ask them.

Thieves. Eveyone wants to use their legitimate businesses to dupe people


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

A plot 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

Purely u don't understand that evil herdsmen are not allowing people to access dere farms... abi are you a herdsman

When you have a useless leader what are you people expecting? it is only in APC government that people easily inflate prices of items. This is very worrisome and I wonder if we are living in a banana republic already. Zero price control system. People are getting away with this fraud of exaggerating prices of items on the internet to cause panicking which in turn lead to inflation of prices. To buy something in any store in Nigeria, you have to walk from one store to another store to be able to afford it. They buy from the same producers and they make more profits than the producers buy inflating their profits. Example; On the same street we have different owners of store A, Store B, Store C and store D
They all have the same supplier of Product K and they all buy product K from the same supplier at 1200
Store A is selling product k at 1500
Store B is selling at 1800
Store C is selling at 1400
Store D is selling at 2000
This is another big problem in Nigeria now. which way Nigeria?

Don't talk like that!many of tiv lands were hit by bandits especially gwer east & west for decades most villages there are desolate many youths abandoned farming for charcoal making.
