Understanding Vegetable Oil prices in Nigeria
Why Vegetable Oil prices vary so much
Vegetable Oil costs 200% more at Ajah Market (₦4,500) than at Mile 12 Market (₦1,500) — a difference of ₦3,000 per 1litre 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 Vegetable Oil sold in?
Markets report Vegetable Oil in 1litre, 5litres, 25litres. We never average across units — a price per 1litre and a price per 5litres 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.
