Happy new month everyone.
For the last part of this year which is a period of massive harvest, I'll be dwelling a lot on marketing of different agricultural produce from Benue state. Marketing as we all know is few of the agribusiness value chains that has different chains within itself again. I'll be starting with yam which is a major staple consumed by almost every Nigerian in different forms. In marketing of yam tubers, one can be involved in two major ways I would classify as Direct marketing and indirect marketing. Direct marketing involves physical and active participation in the marketing process. One who is directly involved can function as a produce aggregator, merchant, wholesaler and retailer. Working as any of these guarantees some profit though it differs. It involves a lot of hardwork and most importantly it entails having good knowledge about markets: supply and target. It requires dedication, tenacity and smartness.
The other option is indirect marketing. Marketers here are virtual marketers, they do not come in contact with produce. They have the biggest commitment in capital. They make money by getting returns on their investments either on monthly basis or after a period of time. It's been practiced for a long time in production but rarely done in marketing. Indirect involvement requires investing with trusted individuals or companies. So, whichever way you want to be involved, there's a place for everyone. You either get down to do the dirty job yourself or have people do it for you. Both ways you're getting more money in your account. For those who are interested in either marketing types, I can help you get trusted people you can deal with here.

Marketing directly is a cool option but it's uneasy for people currently on a job to be involved or one with no experience. I hope y'all are preparing for the yam season. I hope another big marketer emerges this season. It can only get better.

Still cheaper than Kogi here even though new yams are plenty here.

Your selling price depends on the cost of purchasing tubers. Harvest of Benue yams had just commenced and it's still on a small scale at the moment. When it gets massive, I'm sure you'll get them at far lower prices.
