Storage crop of yam

The storage crop of yam refers to the yam tubers that are harvested and stored for future use. Yam is a tropical tuber crop that is grown primarily for its starchy root. After harvesting, the yam tubers are cleaned and cured to enhance their storage potential. They are then stored in a cool and dry place to prevent mold growth and maintain their quality. The storage crop of yam can be kept for several months, providing a source of food and income during the off-season when fresh yams are not available.
