About yam prices in Nigeria
Yam — Doya in Hausa, Isu in Yoruba, Ji in Igbo — is usually traded by the 100kg bag. The same 100kg bag can cost very different amounts in a producing state and in a big consumer market like Lagos, and prices move with the harvest calendar, transport costs and festive-season demand.
Before you buy or sell: compare today's markets above, check the price heatmap, and set a price alert so Agrios tells you when yam reaches your target.
