Understanding Okra prices in Nigeria
Why Okra prices vary so much
Okra costs 150% more at Ogbogonogo Market (₦5,000) than at Effurun Market (₦2,000) — a difference of ₦3,000 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.
