Onion Purple price in Nigeria today

Why Onion Purple prices vary so much

Onion Purple costs 250% more at Jimeta Modern Market (₦7,000) than at Dawanau Int. Market Yan Baka Market (₦2,000) — 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.

Whether a market is primarily wholesale or retail can account for much of the rest.
