Understanding Irish Potato prices in Nigeria
Why Irish Potato prices vary so much
Irish Potato costs 480% more at Mushin Market (₦14,500) than at Gariki Market (₦2,500) — a difference of ₦12,000 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.
Is Irish Potato getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦12,000 to ₦11,000 per painter — a change of 8.3%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.

Markets report Irish Potato in painter, 25kg bag, 50kg bag, 60kg bag.
