Understanding Chicken Legs prices in Nigeria

Chicken Legs costs 433% more at Effurun Market (₦8,000) than at Mile 12 Market (₦1,500) — a difference of ₦6,500 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.
