Understanding Irish Potato prices in Lagos State
Why Irish Potato prices vary so much
Irish Potato costs 32% more at Mushin Market (₦14,500) than at Ajah Market (₦11,000) — a difference of ₦3,500 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 ₦12,500 to ₦11,500 per painter — a change of 8%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
