Yam is a high-energy food that feeds millions across Africa, contributing to the diet of over 60 million people annually. Rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients, yams play a vital role in reducing hunger and boosting local economies. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), yam production in West Africa accounts for over 95% of the world’s yam output【source】.
