Understanding Yam (small) prices in Delta State
Why Yam (small) prices vary so much
Yam (small) costs 25% more at Effurun Market (₦2,000) than at Ogbogonogo Market (₦1,600) — a difference of ₦400 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.
Is Yam (small) getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has risen from ₦1,300 to ₦1,600 per piece — a change of 23.1%. If you buy this regularly and have somewhere to store it, buying ahead may be worth considering.
Which unit is Yam (small) sold in?
Markets report Yam (small) in piece, 12 pieces. We never average across units — a price per piece and a price per 12 pieces 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.
