A correspondent of NAN, who visited major markets in Enugu metropolis on Saturday, observed that sweet potatoes had flooded yam shops.A bag of potatoes sells for between N7,000 and N8,500 as against the price of a heap of 12 sizable yam tubers which is sold between N6,400 and N7, 000.
“At least with N500 you can get enough potatoes for your family and whichever way you prepare it, your family will be satisfied. A potatoes seller in Garki Market, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she had switched trade to sweet potatoes pending when new yams are harvested.“I now sell sweet potatoes because of the increase in the price of yam, which has made most of my customers to stop patronizing me.
That is the irony of Nigerian trading and price-fixing, The producers do not get substantial aid from the government nor incentives to engage in environmentally farming or production. That said potatoes cannot really replace yams, unfortunately. What's next Cassava and millet etc
And potatoes' price will also skyrocket now... When are we gonna get it right in this shithole
