Egg price in Nigeria today

Why Egg prices vary so much

Egg costs 50% more at Ikare Market (₦300) than at Lugbe Market (₦200) — a difference of ₦100 per piece 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 Egg getting more expensive?

Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦250 to ₦230 per piece — a change of 8%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.

Which unit is Egg sold in?

Markets report Egg in piece, crate. We never average across units — a price per piece and a price per crate 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.
