Understanding Chicken Legs prices in Lagos State
Why Chicken Legs prices vary so much
Chicken Legs costs 333% more at Century Market (₦6,500) than at Mile 12 Market (₦1,500) — a difference of ₦5,000 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.
Which unit is Chicken Legs sold in?
Markets report Chicken Legs in 1kg, carton. We never average across units — a price per 1kg and a price per carton 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.
All figures are medians of prices recorded in Nigerian markets, published in Naira.
