Nigeria exports 72 metric tonnes of yam to europe us

I think there may be a mistake here.

Nigeria is a significant producer of yams, but I couldn't find any reliable sources indicating that the country exports 72 metric tonnes of yams to Europe or the US.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Nigeria is the world's largest producer of yams, accounting for over 70% of global production. However, the country's yam exports are relatively limited, and most of its yam production is consumed domestically.

In 2020, Nigeria's yam exports were valued at around $13 million, with the majority going to neighboring countries in West Africa, such as Benin, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire. There are some reports of yam exports to Europe and the US, but these are likely to be small quantities and not significant enough to be reported separately.

It's possible that you may have come across an outdated or incorrect report, or that the figure you mentioned is an estimate or projection rather than an actual export volume. If you could provide more context or a source for the information, I'd be happy to help clarify things further!
