Understanding Palm Oil prices in Nigeria
Why Palm Oil prices vary so much
Palm Oil costs 200% more at Ajah Market (₦4,500) than at Mile 12 Market (₦1,500) — a difference of ₦3,000 per 1litre 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 Palm Oil getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has risen from ₦1,950 to ₦2,100 per 1litre — a change of 7.7%. If you buy this regularly and have somewhere to store it, buying ahead may be worth considering.
Which unit is Palm Oil sold in?
Markets report Palm Oil in 1litre, 5litres, 25litres. We never average across units — a price per 1litre and a price per 5litres 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.
Where can you buy Palm Oil cheapest?
The lowest recorded price is ₦1,500 per 1litre at Mile 12 Market in Lagos. We currently track Palm Oil across 11 states, with the widest coverage in Lagos, Delta, Ogun. Prices below are the most recent insight from each market — always confirm before travelling for a difference that transport would cancel out.
