The book "Yam Marketing and Poverty Reduction in Ukum Local Government Area" offers a comprehensive empirical study on the role of the yam market in poverty alleviation in the Ukum region of Benue State. It goes beyond mere presentation and provides both educational and informative insights into the specific challenges faced in this area. The author, Solomon Gbaka, analyzes the dynamics of the yam market and proposes feasible strategies to maximize its potential for promoting economic growth. Given the need to diversify the country's economy away from oil dependency towards a stronger agricultural base, this book is particularly relevant. It is aimed at students, professionals, and policymakers interested in developing sustainable solutions for poverty reduction.
