Whole Chicken Frozen costs 84% more at Mushin Market (₦13,800) than at Ahia Ohru New Market (₦7,500) — a difference of ₦6,300 per piece 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.
