The Yam Export Committee (YAMEX) in Jamaica was created in order to recommend a strategy for increasing the promotion, production and marketing, locally and overseas, of yams for the small scale farmer sector, particularly those using miniset technology. This committee is composed of sixteen agencies, organizations and companies from the public, private and international sectors. As a result of the first meeting of the YAMEX full committee on March 7, 1988, three workgroups were created: Promotion, production and marketing. These workgroups met on a regular basis and produced a series of recommendations regarding the promotion, production and marketing of yam utilizing the miniset technology. This document contents a report of these three workgroups and their recommendations. (ACH)
