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
Too expensive, maybe because of your location.
1. with #10,000 here you can get 100 tubers of yam (3- 4 seeds/tuber). note the bigger the seed the bigger the produce
2. A Heap is not more than #5 for average heaps and #15- #20 for very big heaps. I think going for sacs is too expensive and less productive.

I'm going to try this from February to march, i just need to get the seed.


@op

How many times do you water the yam sack ?
Can I apply cow manure as fertilizer ?
If cow manure is used, how do I missed it with sand, dried or apply it like that.

I need an open reply Op

Thanks and God bless.....

Well. the only problem here is getting the soil for planting but this sack farming is very good and it aids easy harvest especially for root crops like yam.

This must be the northern part of the country. I cannot imagine #20 per heap in any other part of the country.

Do you know that the taste of this yam is different from the one in market? after eating this yam, I vowed not to buy yam again in market.
In fact, what I have now can carry me throughout the year.
how do u intend to store it for a year bro?

God bless the individual that unveiled the idea of yam-in-sack farming. I put up my first trial, the result is amazing. If you're among the people that post account number here, begging for money, gather here, I have low cost business idea for you. If you're NYSC member looking for how to boost savings during the service year, please come onboard. If you're still searching for job and none on sight, your attention is needed here.

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.

This is wonderful. Spectacular. But is it feasible on a large scale basis? What kind of fertiliser do you use? I bet you use manure right? This is really impressive. Well done.

You can use pretty much any sand so long as it is not salt-laden sand. I mix playground sand(sandy sand) with compost for my container plants and that works great for planting. What you need is soil with good drainage and you can add nutrients to it using compost. Compost is there for you to make your own good soil, so you don't first have to have to start first with good sand. undecided

OluchiDelly:


you did a great job no doubt. however this method is better for subsistence farming and not for commercial scale. so, comparing this method with the conventional style may not be obtainable as the output from the latter wl definately outweigh your aboved listed benefits.

You didn't even list your own points aside from output. How do you compare the only output with his almost 12 points? I think that if his method is scaled up, it can outperform the conventional method.
