So earlier last year, my dad decided to go into yam business. The most common in my area kuje Abuja to be precise.

Since we're just starting, we bought seedlings worth of 40k.
We later found out that seedlings are more expensive and scarce during farming/planting period.
We got the land for free
We paid farmers #20 per ridges and we dug about 500ridges.
Meaning. #20*500= 10,000

Total money spent on investment was approximately#60,000 plus running cost.

The farmers were paid 6k to harvest the whole yam.
Those guys started as early as 6am and we're done by 2pm just 3 of them.

Truck that packed it was paid 1k.


Pic 1 and 2, the big size yams we want to sell. Those buyers are pricing 45k

Pic 3 are the ones for home and family consumption. Any remainder would be added to seedlings.

Pics 4, the small yams we want to preserve as seedlings.

Think we got a lot from our investment in the end.

Amazing.

lol..
getting land in the northern part of the country shouldn't be a problem.
you just need to relate well with some individuals and your good to go.
if you can't, you can still get lands at cheap rate for rent.
bro I suggest you buy your seedlings now and preserve them till farming starts

Guy, you go chop Yam taya this period. They should nickname you Yamri in your locality.

Agriculture is the best jare

I'm inspired. I have invested in two pregnant sows this year, I hope to have my own testimony.
