Understanding Onion Purple prices in Lagos State
Why Onion Purple prices vary so much
Onion Purple costs 400% more at Century Market (₦500) than at Ajah Market (₦100) — a difference of ₦400 per piece small 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 Onion Purple getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has risen from ₦100 to ₦300 per piece small — a change of 200%. If you buy this regularly and have somewhere to store it, buying ahead may be worth considering.
Which unit is Onion Purple sold in?
Markets report Onion Purple in piece small, piece big, painter, bag. We never average across units — a price per piece small and a price per piece big are different figures, and treating them as one number produces something meaningless. Compare like with like, and check the unit before assuming one market is cheaper than another.
