Understanding Sweet Potato prices in Delta State
Why Sweet Potato prices vary so much
Sweet Potato costs 200% more at Effurun Market (₦3,000) than at Ogbogonogo Market (₦1,000) — a difference of ₦2,000 per 10 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.
Is Sweet Potato getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦3,000 to ₦2,000 per 10 pieces — a change of 33.3%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
Which unit is Sweet Potato sold in?
Markets report Sweet Potato in 10 pieces, painter. We never average across units — a price per 10 pieces and a price per painter 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.
