Bara Seed, commonly known as African Yam Bean, is a nutritious and versatile legume widely cultivated in West Africa.

Bara seeds produce climbing plants that yield both edible seeds and underground tubers, making them an excellent crop for food security and sustainable agriculture.
Bara is an important traditional crop grown by farmers for human consumption, livestock feed, and soil fertility improvement due to its nitrogen-fixing ability. It is suitable for smallholder farms, mixed cropping systems, and commercial cultivation.

We currently offer three shipping options: Local Pickup shipping, Economy shipping, and Convenient shipping options.
Local Pickup is the shipping option that gives our customers affordable delivery fees with flexible control over the pickup of their orders.
This means that the customer can pick up his or her package from a local road transport park or an agreed pickup point close to his/her home or office address. We ensure swift and secure deliveries through commercial vehicles from third-party transporters and road transport agencies across Nigeria.
We also make sure the third-party transporters are supplied with the contact details of the customers for communication and a smooth delivery process.
For this type of delivery method, we always encourage our customers to get ready to pick up their items before the drivers get to the agreed pickup point or park.
Local pickup is suitable for customers who are ready to pick up their items within 24 hours after order confirmation. Local pickup is also suitable for customers who are close to central locations and motor parks as this gives them easy access to the pickup of their goods.
Economy Shipping is a convenient and affordable delivery option we operate and manage in partnership with GIG logistics services which allows our customers to pick up their order conveniently at any GIG Office across Nigeria.

As personalized delivery can enhance customer experience and increase brand loyalty when used as an integrated part of the customer’s purchasing journey, we have included this option to service customers who wish to have their ordered packages personally delivered anywhere in the world.
