World producer of yam? FAO has started going blind. A mid size yam goes for N300-N500.

Anyway we will soon carry first on rice production.

Shut up and let adults discuss serious issues.
People import because it is cheaper.

People don't import crude oil, yam, and cocoa because they would run into a loss.

Apparently, that simple fact is too complex for you to understand yet you are not cursed.
SMH

So you dunno we import crude oil?

We are the largest because we have the comparative advantage over other countries

But for rice m wheat we are disadvantaged

It would be economical wish if we put the energy in rice to cassava ..export the excess use it to buy rice n wheat

Well most buhari present ers are socialist

For rice, we are not disadvantaged. For wheat, Nigeria has no business farming wheat!

Excellent point!

We are the largest producer of yam simply because we were not stupid enough to start importing yam.

If we put the same energy into banning importation of rice completely, then we will be self sufficient as well.

Unfortunately, as abundant and high yielding as our yam is, it's still seasonal which s for its price fluctuation.
If only we have serious people in government, our yam can be grown and available all year round.
It only takes a recognition of that loophole and you'll see yam being imported.

Sometimes the world's largest producer is also the world's largest importer.
