have been receiving lots of call recently whether one can get yam cheaper at near by village, yes am told, but it may not worth the risk ooooo
Please read this story, I found it here on nairaland
Don't let someone take you to a village where yam is cheaper and they now ambush you
God Almighty Will continue to protect us in Jesus name

Generally, the roads are busier around this period and "boys" will also be on those biz routes. They are aware of purchase routes for different produce in difference zones and step up their game too.

Once the yam season peaks, more patrol vehicles will be on those routes so be rest assured.

Some routes are more dangerous than others so good understanding of alternative options especially when dark is necessary

Ultimately, it is God that protects.

The two popular yam markets in Benue are the Ugba and zaki biam markets, i can assure you however that for every big market, there is a cheaper and smaller market

May God protect us all

I'm happy you could try your hands on something new.

Since you are new however, will give you some advice otherwise your gain will all be paper profit

Variety is what assures you of profit not the size of the yam, always buy good variety that have longer shelf life.

Maintenance of the yam purchased is very important otherwise you lose a sizeable amount

Yam prices will be low all through now till february so you are likely to have more experienced competitor on the prowl, I inclusive

Transportation cost shouldnt exceed 1500 per 100. It even drops lower to 1000 once sales peak. Try to get a bargain as 2500/100 is rather high though location dependent

Nice attempt though, i wish you swift sales.

Generally it is a good business to venture into. I do have one or two questions, how much did 100 tubers go for ( price ) or 1000 tubers? thanks for your anticipated reply.

Nice knowledge sharing

Can u name varieties that are more preferred in the south especially Lagos, ph and warri.

Can u name varieties that are more preferred in the south especially Lagos, ph and warri.

Port Harcourt and Warri markets like Makakusa or paper. Paper is their first choice

Lagos market is more flexible. Some areas are price driven hence, "Amee", "Aluchi" that are cheap varieties move easily.

"Benue 1 & 2" and "paper" are excellent choices for all markets and are white yam.

Always buy very big yams if storing for sale.

For shelf life, Paper, Makakusa, Benue 1 & 2 are very good.

There is a variety from Taraba as well that can be beaten by rain and it wouldn't go bad. Will add up once I have the name
