Understanding Catfish Dried prices in Nigeria
Why Catfish Dried prices vary so much
Catfish Dried costs 381% more at Gariki Market (₦13,000) than at Dawanau Int. Market Yan Baka Market (₦2,700) — a difference of ₦10,300 per 1kg 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.
