Understanding Irish Potato prices in Nigeria
Why Irish Potato prices vary so much
Irish Potato costs 67% more at Ogbogonogo Market (₦12,500) than at Mile 12 Market (₦7,500) — a difference of ₦5,000 per painter 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.

Over the last 90 days the median price has risen from ₦11,000 to ₦12,250 per painter — a change of 11.4%. If you buy this regularly and have somewhere to store it, buying ahead may be worth considering.
Which unit is Irish Potato sold in?
Markets report Irish Potato in painter, 25kg bag, 50kg bag, basket. We never average across units — a price per painter and a price per 25kg bag are different figures, and treating them as one number produces something meaningless.
