Understanding Soya Beans prices in Lagos State
Why Soya Beans prices vary so much
Soya Beans costs 38% more at Century Market (₦5,500) than at Ajah Market (₦4,000) — 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.
Is Soya Beans getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has risen from ₦4,500 to ₦4,750 per painter — a change of 5.6%. If you buy this regularly and have somewhere to store it, buying ahead may be worth considering.
Which unit is Soya Beans sold in?
Markets report Soya Beans in painter, derica, 50kg bag, 100kg bag. We never average across units — a price per painter and a price per derica 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.
All figures are medians of prices recorded in Nigerian markets, published in Naira.
