According to the Raw Material Research and Development Council (RMRDC), tiger-nut farming is one of the agricultural businesses that may provide Nigeria with a return of around N20 billion, or thereabouts, yearly provided the crop’s value chain is fully tapped.

Tiger-nut is an annual or perennial plant with an edible tuber or root that comes from the sedge family and can grow up to about 3 feet (90 cm) and be harvested twice a year. Its cultivation requires a mild climate and sandy soil, and when planted around April, it can be harvested in November.

Cultivating tiger-nut requires a mild climate and sandy soil, and they can be enjoyed in their fresh vegetable state as dried seed or in processed forms like nut drinks or chaff as pap.
