 note = {The yam is one of the most important agricultural products in Melanesia, both in the subsistence economy and in the symbolic world. The symbolic usage of the yam is best seen in the annual competition to produce and display giant yams. The men of Tokaimalo, Saivou District, Ra Province,
Viti Levu Island, Fiji are also good cultivators of the yam. Though they do not cultivate giant yams, and there is no annual competition between individuals to produce good yams, the yam cultivation seems
to have a symbolic meaning in the political interactions between chiefdoms. Here the yam cultivation of Tokaimalo is described and analysed in comparison with other Melanesian societies.},
