I'm considering starting a yam farm and was wondering if anyone has experience with this type of farming? Specifically, I'm interested in hearing about the profitability of yam farming. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yam farming is very profitable. But the major problem of farming yam is that it is not mechanical especially in Nigeria. You have to plant the seedlings by yourself and constantly keep working on the farm till the yam become matured and ready for harvest

I never knew about this. So there is no way one can mechanize the planting of yams. That would require a huge expense on labour to finish planting.

Yes it is profitable, but you need to learn from those who are into it so they could give you a guide

In my city, they are the ones that tourists usually buy when visiting here. In fact, I am planning to sell them online soon.

It's going to be very challenging to sell food stuff like yam online because they are perishable. If they are not sold out fast, they will damage.

Yes in Nigeria precisely this business is a lucrative one you can either plant and sell them or you buy them to sell anyway you would make your profit from it.

With the rate of inflation and business failure today, I think agriculture is the best business to engage yourself in and make money. Yam farming is profitable world over if done right.

Yam farming is profitable, does in the north in Nigeria are usually experts in yam farming. Most of the yams we get in the southern part of Nigeria are mostly from the north.
