Understanding Ripe Plantain prices in Nigeria
Why Ripe Plantain prices vary so much
Ripe Plantain costs 400% more at Ajah Market (₦5,000) than at Mile 12 Market (₦1,000) — a difference of ₦4,000 per 5 6 pieces 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.

We never average across units — a price per 5 6 pieces and a price per bunch (16 25 pieces) 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.
