Production of yams: present role and future prospect
Yam is an important food crop, especially in the ‘yam zone' of West Africa. Total world production is about 20-25 million ton per annum, some 70 per cent of it grown in Nigeria. Although regarded mainly as a source of carbohydrate, some species are nearly as rich in protein as rice or maize.
