Understanding Soya Beans prices in Nigeria

Soya Beans costs 112% more at Century Market (₦5,500) than at Dawanau Int. Market (₦2,600) — a difference of ₦2,900 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.
Is Soya Beans getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦4,250 to ₦4,000 per painter — a change of 5.9%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
