Understanding Tomato Oval prices in Nigeria
Why Tomato Oval prices vary so much
Tomato Oval costs 2253% more at Mushin Market (₦40,000) than at Gboko Main Market (₦1,700) — a difference of ₦38,300 per basket (small) 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 Tomato Oval getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦27,500 to ₦16,000 per basket (small) — a change of 41.8%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
