Here in Dominica, yams (Dioscorea) of many varieties are staples of the diet (ground provisions). They are exported to places in U.S. where there are significant West Indian or Puerto Rican populations. When I visit western MA, I often see yams in standard supermarkets which serve these populations. Some of the varieties get huge indeed, although these monsters would be used locally and not be exported. (Exporters have size standards to meet.) My favorites are the rarish Blood Yam or Red Yam which cooks up like mashed potatoes and the sweetish purpley cush-cush. Babolay, Ladies' Yam, White Yam are others. There is even a yam, I forget its name, that makes the "food" on the vine as opposed to under ground.
