sorry that I didn't respond earlier so the price is 13-16k but am unable to get the transport Fair once my Friend get in touch with me am gonna update you

Nelton:

I am so glad you started this thread. This is a business I was planning on doing, just trying to source funds. However from the research I have so far made, I think your prices are a bit on the high side. In mile 12 as at last week a kwarai of yam cost about 26k and if the tubers are big btw 28-30k. That is the price at mile 12 . I also kbow that you can source for yam also from south western states like Ondo and Ekiti where they have large concentration of Igbira people. In those places you can get the yam for 10-12k per kwarai. If you add transport and all other expenses you get it to your destination for 15k.

Kolomax this yam business is making sense to me,I wont lie....if I may ask,if I were to buy 100pieces at 13k like u stated aand let me assume i need to transport it to lagos say 7k at worst...thats 20k right?...Ymodulus posted pictures of yams costing 31k(plus expenses) to lagos nd also d one 54-55k to b sold for 67k...frm my calculations the profit has been around 12-13k.my question is this, can I sell d same yams bought at 13k d same way and price d ones bought for 55k wer sold?...u catch my drift right?

kolomax:
yaaaa but it seems Yam is costly this time around than last because we didn't have enough rain this season but no matter how much you buy it from saki am very sure when you get to lagos or other cities you gonna make lot of profit

This is very correct. I was at mile12 market on Saturday, 2nd of May 2015. A Kwarai was around 22k. Was also told this is not the best time to go into yam biz. I travelled from Ilorin to Lagos to make my findings.

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.

whizqueen:
