Jamaica has an estimated 28,000 yam farmers, most concentrated around St. Elizabeth. If you grow yellow yam, negro yam, or other varieties, FarmFlow gives you a direct, free way to reach buyers across the island — no market stall required.
Step 1 — Download FarmFlow and create an account
Get FarmFlow on Google Play and sign in with email, Google, or Facebook. It's free.
Step 2 — Create your yam listing
- Tap the + button and choose "Create listing".
- Add a clear, real photo of your yam — buyers want to see exactly what they're getting.
- Write an honest title and description — note the variety (yellow yam, negro yam) if you know it.
- Set your price and quantity in Jamaican dollars (JMD), and confirm the parish or town where the yam is located.
- Publish. Your listing goes live once it passes moderation.
Step 3 — Respond to buyers
Buyers message you directly through WhatsApp or SMS to ask questions, agree a price, and arrange collection or delivery. FarmFlow doesn't process payment — that happens directly between you and the buyer.
Step 4 — Meet and trade safely
Meet in daylight, in a public place if possible, and inspect quantity before money changes hands. Read our full Safety Tips before your first trade.
Step 5 — Keep your listing current
Mark your listing as sold once your yam is gone, and relist when you have a fresh harvest. Accurate, up-to-date listings build buyer trust and rank better in search.
