There are about 600 species of yams found around the world, most of them in the tropics. Some species of yam are cultivated for their edible tubers, for medicinal use, and for other uses. Yams remain an important food crop, especially in Africa, and some varieties can be stored for months without refrigeration. In addition to addressing the physical needs of people—offering such nutrition as carbohydrates, protein, phosphorus, and potassium—yams also touch upon the human inner nature, bringing pleasure through their enjoyable taste and texture, and being central to various ceremonies related to their importance in traditional society of Africa Today, West Africa produces over 90 percent of the world's yam crop, with Nigeria the largest grower.

It is no longer news that prices of produces are constant increase for this write up which will be more of a question I will be taking all my prices from the current selling price on www.daydone.com.ng As of today Garri is 25,500 in which an average Nigeria Rice is also selling for 25,500 even though the congo’s are not same but the price of produces especially our Nigeria well parboiled Rice has been on constant increase week by week.   My thought are - Is this a bubble or inflation is actually picking up? - Is this astronomical height of Rice especially something to expect to come down? - Or is the minimum wage changed the goal post for the height the produce have to reach? - Is this coming down soon after reaching a peak? - What should we expect this coming festive season? My Final thoughts ; as we know that agricultural products are essential necessity for the bubble to burst they might need to be an intervention, either by the consumer or government and by the co

  I HAVE A DREAM My vision of a new Nigeria farmer is built on my vision of a new Nigeria agriculture. I have outlined some of the strategic actions we need to take to achieve the new Nigeria agriculture.  I have a dream of the new Nigeria farmer. And I believe that with all the initiatives and interventions I have outlined, that dream will someday soon become a reality.  I dream of a day when farming would no longer be regarded as a means of survival but as a business in its o wn right with all the potentials and possibilities that come with any other business. I dream of a day when graduates of Accounting or Banking and Finance would prefer to own and run their own farms rather than seek banking jobs; a day when young men and women who hold degrees in Engineering or any other degree for that matter, would opt for a career in farming, not because they have no options but because they regard farming as a more lucrative enterprise.  I dream of a young man or woman in jeans and t-shirt w
