I plant yam in my Osun State farm, planning to leave it in ground to grow for 2 years, then someone comes in the 7-8 month to harvest it in the middle of the night. Meanwhile Ghana yam boku for Deptford Market at 2 for £5. 20 Likes 5 Shares

Where is blue3k and his clique of statistics churners? We are top consumer and top producer, but deficit in supply doesn't mean we should all start celebrating our top producer status as consolation. It all means our status as top producer doesn't automatically position us for export or as the best cultivators around. Cc: nairalanda1, grandstar. 3 Likes |

If we're unable to export, how come it's this very costly? Is the abundance not supposed to make it extremely cheap?? 12 Likes 2 Shares |

CodeTemplar: Lol first time you said something close to sensible regarding economics. Anyway this remains the USA beef market. They one of biggest consumers exporters and importers. Even if Nigeria becomes an exporter tomorrow it doesn't necessarily mean we will stop imports. From what I read Nigeria doesn't export because the country lacks storage and transport options. If you're worried about the issue go Invest your money into solving it. You'll be compensated handsomely. Take a trip to Ghana or some other country and see what they're doing right. Write it off as business expense on your taxes. 5 Likes 3 Shares

Blue3k:beaf and USA is not an appropriate example. I know you don't understand the fact you are hurriedly churning out here. Import of beaf can be for onward processing and re-exporting. That puts a whole new meaning to the data and makes it inappropriate for your argument. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

CodeTemplar: You didn't make a counter argument to anything me or Grandstar said. Lol this a classic strawman. When did we tell you being biggest producer automatically makes you biggest exporter? All you said is Nigeria could potentially be better and I agreed. CodeTemplar: Lol the United States imports beef mainly for consumption not re-exporting. US consumers enjoy different varieties of beef cuts. US farmers export the beef out because it's more profitable to serve certain foreigners. Since you're in hurry to respond you didn't even read the article on the topic. In other words, other countries are willing to pay for high quality US beef cuts, so some high-quality cuts are exported. Conversely, the US is a large consumer of ground beef and imports are brought in to help satisfy domestic demand for lower quality cuts of beef. 3 Likes 3 Shares
