🌱 Yam Farming in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Nigeria is the world’s largest producer of yam, and it remains both a staple food and a cash crop. It thrives in fertile, well-drained soils across the Middle Belt and Southern regions.
✅ Planting: March–May using seed yams on heaps or ridges.
✅ Harvest: 6–8 months later (Nov–Jan).
✅ Benefits: High demand locally & abroad, good profit margins.
⚠️ Challenges: Cost of seed yams, pests, and storage losses.
👉 In Nigeria, yam is not just food, it’s wealth.
