Understanding Yellow Maize prices in Delta State
Why Yellow Maize prices vary so much
Yellow Maize costs 40% more at Effurun Market (₦3,500) than at Ogbogonogo Market (₦2,500) — a difference of ₦1,000 per painter 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 Yellow Maize getting more expensive?
Over the last 90 days the median price has fallen from ₦3,250 to ₦3,000 per painter — a change of 7.7%. Prices easing usually reflects harvest supply reaching the markets, and that window does not always last.
Which unit is Yellow Maize sold in?
Markets report Yellow Maize in painter, 100kg bag. We never average across units — a price per painter and a price per 100kg 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.
