Questions
Why do prices change?
They follow the market. The board is updated every Monday; you pay the price on the day you order.
How do I know the yam is good inside?
We cut a small window on request. If a tuber is bad inside, send a photograph within 24 hours and we replace it.
Do you deliver outside Ibadan and Lagos?
Ask us on WhatsApp. We send to Abuja and Port Harcourt by road for bulk orders.
