Understanding Wheat prices in Lagos State
Is Wheat getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦2,250 to ₦2,000 per painter — a change of 11.1%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
Which unit is Wheat sold in?
Markets report Wheat in painter, 50kg bag, 100kg bag. We never average across units — a price per painter and a price per 50kg 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.
All figures are medians of prices recorded in Nigerian markets, published in Naira.
