Understanding Catfish Dried prices in Nigeria
Why Catfish Dried prices vary so much
Catfish Dried costs 7900% more at Ogbogonogo Market (₦400,000) than at Gboko Main Market (₦5,000) — a difference of ₦395,000 per carton for the same item.
Most of that gap is transport and distance from where the item is produced or landed. Market size matters too: high-turnover markets buy in larger volumes and sell on thinner margins, while smaller neighbourhood markets carry the cost of a shorter supply chain. Whether a market is primarily wholesale or retail can account for much of the rest.
Which unit is Catfish Dried sold in?
Markets report Catfish Dried in carton, 1kg, piece. We never average across units — a price per carton and a price per 1kg are different figures, and treating them as one number produces something meaningless. Compare like with like, and check the unit before assuming one market is cheaper than another.
