Rwanda air yam (Discorea bulbifera) is a form of potato that grows rapidly on climbing vines. It might increase in size at eight inches on a daily basis under proper conditions. The plant’s vines ease their way to the nearest high canopy within no time. Most of the true yams from the plant come from the underground, but there are also small nodules that sprout on the stems and thus the term ‘air yam’ or ‘air potato.’ Though it is smaller than the yam itself, it is nevertheless among the most cultivated tubers in Africa. It is a culinary inclusion in roasted, boiled, steamed or fried form.

The dietary fiber margin stands at 16 percent of the daily needs. This keeps digestive functions in the gastric system stable. Some of the uses of the air yam are in the cure of some ailments. Many folk medicine users ingest the extract from the yam to get relief from diarrhea and dysentery. Some people also use the tuber in the alleviation of conjunctivitis disorder.

We source Rwanda yams from Southern Province and Western Province. We only deal with family growers with less than two acres of land. This little patch of land is easy to manage and a secret to the healthy nature of the produce: only farmyard manure goes into the soil for enrichment, and there is virtually no application of harmful pesticides.

We harvest Rwanda air yams in two methods. The first one is the cutting off the visible small yams from the stems. The main one is uprooting the tubers from the ground using hand means. We remove the soil from around the plant with garden forks. In all our harvests, we use sterilized cutting equipment primarily for the tubers above ground to prevent rot caused by injuries.

We pack Rwanda air yams in a loose format. The smallest ones have an 11-kilo capacity while the largest have 23-kilo measure. We use horizontal fiberboard cartons with interior paper linings to preserve the produce. We stick the appropriate produce labels inclusive of the name/cultivar, the date of packing, country of origin and the destination.

We store Rwanda air yams at the temperature range of 12 to15 degrees Celsius. This gives the tubers a freshness index, also called ‘dormancy’ of 6 months unspoiled. Lower temperatures may lead to chilling injury. We also countercheck the packages to confirm that all corms are bruise-free as any bad piece may affect the rest.
