According to the governor; “Our yam is the biggest and sweetest in the whole country.

“I have discussed with the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development; we have agreed that the certification of our yam will be done.

“The moment that is done, by the next dry season, you will see containers of yams leaving Ebonyi State for export,’’ 

Umahi said the state would establish an equity investment law that would enable land owners benefit from foreign investment in the state.

“We will establish a law whereby if you want to take 5,000 hectares of land that you want to farm in as an investor, the farm owners will aggregate to form a cooperative society.

“The farm owners will become shareholders by reason of the percentage of the area the owners have on the hectare housing the investment.

“The law will be such that individual owners will have like 10 per cent equity of investment and the state will have 10 per cent as the constitutional owners of the land,’’ he said.
