Apali (Dioscorea esculenta)

These are some propagations of Apali or lesser yam (Dioscorea esculenta) that was harvested last month and needs outplanting as it grows very fast. 



It is a climate-resilient crop that can withstand adverse climatic conditions, particularly during long dry periods. Apali is high in dietary fiber, has longer shelf-life, and can be an alternative staple food source that can address food security issue in the country. 💕🌱
