There are some food items in the JI-MA class, such as embe, chungwa etc, to which the -ya could refer, but I guess a lot of other farm produce is not in this class. Just thinking out loud really!
Yes, I think the -ni suffix is a general locative to indicate that you are referring to something as a place, rather than just as an object, e.g. 'the school is big'. So it can mean in, on, at, to, from etc., and you just have to work it out from the context. Anakuja shuleni means he is coming to school. He is coming from school would be anatoka shuleni.
