Understanding Chicken Legs prices in Nigeria

Chicken Legs costs 500% more at Effurun Market (₦9,000) than at Mile 12 Market (₦1,500) — a difference of ₦7,500 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.
Is Chicken Legs getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦5,500 to ₦5,000 per 1kg — a change of 9.1%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
