Cocoyam is a unique root and tuber crop because of its high nutritional benefits and multi-purpose uses. However, like any other commodity, it is susceptible to ant attacks and diseases, including Cocoyam root rot disease (CRRD).<\/p>\n

This has limited Nigeria\u2019s cocoyam output to 3.2mn tonnes, 36% below its potential of 5mn tonnes. Investment in infrastructural facilities and increased government attention is needed to address the challenges and boost the government\u2019s revenue from cocoyam exports.<\/p>\n

The attached slides address these and other issues in the domestic and global commodities market.<\/p>\n
