fineboynl:Please which state are you that you are buying yam 9-10k? Because this same yam was what my wife bought and prepared this morning in Benin city. The yam was bought for 3,500 naira. It's still very expensive for that amount compared to same yam been sold for 800 naira few years back. But I think why it's expensive it's because Nigeria do not import it. Any Agric products not imported are always cost because Nigeria farmers are wicked and heartless. This same yam, if federal government open border to the importation of it, Nigeria farmers would crash their prices almost immediately. It's the same thing they are doing with garri |

dominique:Yam is expensive all year round, even in Aug - Oct it will still be expensive. The problem is insecurity, only few farmers dare enter bush to farm since 2015. APC and fulani bandits are killing Nigerians slowly |
