  • One bunch of big plantains fell by ₦150 from ₦1,450 to ₦1,300, having increased by ₦600 4 weeks ago.
  • The price of 12.5kg of Gas refill changed for the first time in 20 weeks.
  • Information from various locations reveals that most food prices have remained either stable or dropped since the last quarter of 2017.
  • Most market women attributed this drop to better harvest season last year and noted that they have not had shortages of food items.
  • Of all prices, we have seen a general price drop for items such as yam, potato, garri and rice from our base period.
