Thanks a lot. You left out the other 3 though.i also want to explore this, at least to provide food for the household from within. Nice work

Soil is platform for seed germination. In recent time, plants are grown without soil. Soil provides support and nutrients for root development and plant growth. Irrespective of soil type available in your area, what's so important is the nutrient content. From my experience, manure and compost are major source of the needed nutrients. Compost is easy to produce and manure can be sourced from any nearby chicken/Pig farm. Soil rich in compost manure gives outstanding result

Check very well, I have answered the other three down the thread

Now let look at it from business point of view. If we should invest in farming 100 bags in yam-in-sack farming, how much are we going to input in the business and what's the likely return on the investment.
For this analysis, we are going to use
1. 100 pieces of seed yam valued @#20,000 @#200 per seed yam.
2. 100 pieces of sack = #5000 @ #50 each
3. Labour= #5000
Total cost =#30k

After harvesting, we likely going to get over 100 pieces of yam valued at average price of #800 translating to
#80,000
50 pieces of seed yam at #200 each giving #10,000

Now cost = #30k
Proceeds = #90k
Now returns on investment = 200%

Note, this is just a guide on how the business will look like. There could be many plus and minus

The above analysis can be applied to 1000 bags and above

Imagine the hidden profits if one could invest hugely in yam in sack farming

Land? I thought you were into sack gardening?

Get ready for this year yam farming

Start clearing ground for this year yam farming

Yam-in-sack farming is untapped hidden Gold for Nigerians. This has the potency of turning Nigeria economy around. The market can never be saturated. What about exporting this product? the demand is very high.
Am going to be posting pictures

how did you do it? Tell us how you planted it

ytdivine:
This is from just a bag. In all, I did not buy seed yam, what I planted was the head cut off from the yam we bought from market. Imaging the return here in percentage.

nice one bros ur doing well. I hope many naija youths learn from u nd go into agriculture it's actually a lucrative venture

Nice.

Good one sir

I yam amaized

This seems like a lot of work just for about 100k payoff in 8 months. It's not as if you just planted and abandoned.

BBN big brother naija should be scrapped.
It's making our youths to be useless and more promiscuous.
Let out youths focus on agriculture and it's value chain.

Can a plot of land takes 1000 bags of seedlings?
If no, how many plot do i need for 1000 bags?
Where can one get seedlings for that amount in bulk?

OP i desperately need your answers.

@Op can this be done in the far north like kano state.

Good job bro

every nice

This is very encouraging. I will definitely try it.

The Purpose of reading is to understand, but you always read to criticize.

If you had read to understand, you'd have seen where he wrote that he planted the yam for experimental purpose.

ytdivine:
Let's compare the yam-in-sack farming with the conventional method of farming yam.
1. You can get your produce in 7/8months as against the normal 10/11months
2. Minimal labour against the tedious work involved from land clearing to harvesting
3. Weeding is almost zero here
4. Building Yam trellis easier here
5. The yield is enormous here
6. Nutrients conserved and reused, not washed away.
7. The taste is better
8. Start up capital very small
9. The market price cheaper since the cost of production is lower
10. Easy to harvest
11. Less injured yam after harvest.

Feel free to add yours

You didn't add they can steal your farm land

Kobojunkie:
So you are a Gardner and not a farmer, right?

Haba! Like really?

Unfortunately it can't carry you throughout the year due to the high perishability. Nice work.

Before you fully launch into any business, you have to do small trial run, during this period, you have to identify some key performance index that will be instrumental to the expected result. Once you have succeeded in getting your targeted result, you can boldly say you have what is called
Proof of concept.
In the coming year, all I need is to expand the process. Now from the present to commercial quantity
Am going to open a thread on that once I start.
If I can try about 100 sacks, who says I can't multiply it by 10.

What the average seed tubers u get from a sack?

Bravo, this is highly impressive.

Wow that's great

The style is good , for those who re scared of Fulani
