The study examined the economics
of yam production in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State. Farm
level data were collected from a multi-staged sample of 80 yam farmers in
Umuahia North Local Government Area and used to specifically, analyse the
socioeconomic characteristics of yam farmers, the constraints to yam
production, evaluate cost and returns, determine factors that affect yam 4
production and make recommendation for policy consideration on the basis of the
findings of this work. Descriptive statistics and ordinary least square
regression were used to analyse these objectives. The result shows that farm
size, capital input and other input cost are the important of yam production.
The implication is that increase in any of these or all of the factors increase
yam production. The factors had positive signs and were statistically
