Theres big money in yam (ubi) farming, according to Dr. Evangeline Pera of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) in La Union.
Dr. Pera led a group of DMMMSU researchers who developed a technology using appropriate practice for successful cultivation of purple yam (Dioscorea alata L.).
The team documented the practices for the benefit of those who are interested in growing this crop which, in times past, usually were harvested from the wild.
Purple yam has been gaining popularity among farmers owing to its growing demand from food processors. It can be made into candies and purees for making ice cream, reported PCARRD. Rudy A. Fernandez
