What is in this market?
The size and shape of Yam on Freshdi before you shortlist anyone: how many sellers, how much product, how many origins, and which way demand is moving.

12origins
Freshdi Yam suppliers come from 12 countries, led by Nigeria at 22.6%, as of 1 November 2026.
31 suppliers are actively offering Yam on the platform, with only 2 updating their listings in the last 30 days. This means the supply is stable but not rapidly evolving—buyers should treat each listing as a current offer rather than a snapshot of a dynamic market. While there’s a solid base of exporters, the low update rate suggests suppliers may not be adjusting to new buyer needs quickly, so direct communication is key. Just 33 listings are currently active, which is a small catalog for a category this broad. A buyer looking for a specific grade, packaging, or origin is likely to find a match, but the limited volume means they may need to reach out to suppliers directly to confirm availability or specifications. Yam is supplied by 12 countries, with Nigeria accounting for 22.6% of exporters. This geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to explore different origins, but the concentration in Nigeria means it remains the most common source—ideal for volume buyers, while others offer niche or regional alternatives.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Yam had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, the same as the month before. The catalog is refreshing at a steady pace, so newer and older offers sit side by side. That gives a buyer a regular flow of new offers to weigh against the established ones. Check the listing date when comparing two similar offers.
Is the market busy?
2 of the 31 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool leans on sellers with a listing history, while a small group of newcomers adds choice. Newer sellers have less record to judge them by. Check verification before placing a first order with one of them.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
