Yam Export

Farm-Fresh, Nutrient-Rich Tubers with Global Culinary Value

At ZARAKA BIZNESS HUB LTD, we specialize in the export of premium-quality yam tubers, freshly harvested and handled with care from farm to shipping. Known for their versatility, storability, and high nutritional content, our yams are exported to meet the growing demand in international markets for authentic African food staples.

What is Yam?

Yam is a starchy tuber belonging to the Dioscorea genus, widely consumed for its rich carbohydrate content, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like potassium, manganese, and vitamin C. It is a staple food in many African, Caribbean, and Asian cultures.

Unlike sweet potatoes, yams have a firmer texture, white or yellowish flesh, and a rough, dark brown skin. Yams can be boiled, roasted, fried, pounded, or processed into flour.

🌍 Varieties of Yam We Export

✅ White Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) – Also known as “Puna Yam”; firm texture, ideal for boiling, pounding (pounded yam), or frying.
✅ Yellow Yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) – Slightly sweeter and yellow-fleshed; perfect for roasting and making yam porridge.
✅ Water Yam (Dioscorea alata) – Softer texture, used in yam porridge or grated dishes.
