This is from just a bag. In all, I did not buy seed yam, what I planted was the head cut off from the yam we bought from market. Imaging the return here in percentage.

This particular yield is from tyre. I experimented with tyre as well with good result.

Do you know that the taste of this yam is different from the one in market? after eating this yam, I vowed not to buy yam again in market.
In fact, what I have now can carry me throughout the year.

Let's compare the yam-in-sack farming with the conventional method of farming yam.
1. You can get your produce in 7/8months as against the normal 10/11months
2. Minimal labour against the tedious work involved from land clearing to harvesting
3. Weeding is almost zero here
4. Building Yam trellis easier here
5. The yield is enormous here
6. Nutrients conserved and reused, not washed away.
7. The taste is better
8. Start up capital very small
9. The market price cheaper since the cost of production is lower
10. Easy to harvest
11. Less injured yam after harvest.

Feel free to add yours

Now let look at it from business point of view. If we should invest in farming 100 bags in yam-in-sack farming, how much are we going to input in the business and what's the likely return on the investment.
For this analysis, we are going to use
1. 100 pieces of seed yam valued @#20,000 @#200 per seed yam.
2. 100 pieces of sack = #5000 @ #50 each
3. Labour= #5000
Total cost =#30k

After harvesting, we likely going to get over 100 pieces of yam valued at average price of #800 translating to
#80,000
50 pieces of seed yam at #200 each giving #10,000

Now cost = #30k
Proceeds = #90k
Now returns on investment = 200%

Note, this is just a guide on how the business will look like. There could be many plus and minus
