Understanding Wheat prices in Lagos State
Is Wheat getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has risen from ₦2,500 to ₦3,250 per painter — a change of 30%. If you buy this regularly and have somewhere to store it, buying ahead may be worth considering.
Which unit is Wheat sold in?
Markets report Wheat 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.
