Understanding Soya Beans prices in Nigeria
Why Soya Beans prices vary so much
Soya Beans costs 43% more at Mushin Market (₦5,000) than at Effurun Market (₦3,500) — a difference of ₦1,500 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.
Which unit is Soya Beans sold in?
Markets report Soya Beans in painter, 100kg bag, 50kg bag, mudu. We never average across units — a price per painter and a price per 100kg bag 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.
