Try to be sure of anything bfore talking. There is no specie of yam called IYOO. Iyoo is the tiv name of Yam.(Tivs are the major ethnicity in Benue). There are species like. . . AGATU,GBANGO,SAM PEPPER,...gbango is the sweetest 1 and sells a bit higher than others. In benue I think the biggest yam market is in ZAKI-BIAM. You can get a 100 pcs of yam for as low as 7-12 thousand....yams are cheaper thia just that their agberos can be a pin in the ass. I CAN TELL YOU ANYTIN ABT YAM IN BENUE STATE.

I no carry last

I think u are right but I believe yams are cheaper than wat u just said coz when I even bought yams in Wukari(kasua ndoya) to Lag, I bought 40pcs for #2k but tp to lag was crazy.

[size=16pt]Necessary Logistics when Buying Yam.[/size]

First there are two types of yam I know from experience; these are
1. Giwa Yam
2. Kwasi Yam

Giwa Yam good for pounding and has a rough back, meanwhile Kwasi Yam is good for eating and pounding and have a smooth back.

From experience these type of yam is not taking into consideration when buying from bulk. You just tell them you want yam and look the market for the yam you want.


Buying the Yam Terminologies you should know

1. Kwarais: This is the unit of buying Yam at the market. Just like how we call MUDU when buying Garri. 1 Kwarai of yam is equal to 100tubers. Yam are sold in Kwarais.

2. Good yams: This is my own invented word to describe yams that are sellable in the south. Yams of this nature ranges from ( N17,000 - N50,000 ) per kwarai

3. UNION Fees. : like how a driver who loads vehicle at a Motor Parks pays a fee for loading so also same way do yam buyers pay union fee for buying Yam. Note that these fees are compulsory, if you do not pay this fee even the farmer won't sell the yam too you. These fees are collected by either farmer who hands them over to union boys or you pay the boys directly at spot.
We have two types of union fees known as;
a). Amfani
b). Dibia
Both union fees cost at least N400 , but are negotiable. Very negotiable, last time for a yam of N30,000/kwarai I paid N650 for both Amfani and Dibia ( I.e #325 each ).

3. Seedling Yams: This kind of yam is not for eating or cooking but for planting. Though they can be cooked but they are too small.

4. Truck Pushers: After buying yams you will need to some wheel barrow guys to transport the yam for you to the motor/ vehicle where the yam will be loaded and taking to the south. Note it cost N100 to push a kwarai of yam to the vehicle point.

5. Loaders: These are the Guys that will load your yam into the trailer or haulage vehicle. It cost N150.

6. Transportation of Yam:
Different locations have different price. The following are prices and their location;

1. From Minna ———> Ibadan. Cost N1000 per Kwarai
2. From Minna. ———> Lagos. N2000 per Kwarai
3. From Minna ———> PortHarcout. N3500 — N4000 per Kwarai
4. From Minna. ———> kano. N2000 per Kwarai.
The park where all these vehicles stop will be explaimed under buying.

7. Vehicles: yam can be transported using Trailers, or big trucks with container behind. Whicj ever is yoir choice.

8. Yam Marking: After buying your yam, the person who sold it to you will write your name on the yam using a marker. This is to signify the yam is yours. Any yam you see marked in the marker as already been paid for
