Market insights

According to Mrs. Makanjuola, a retailer at Mushin market, “usually by this time of the year, tomatoes is sold for lesser price as we head into December, only few days to Christmas before we do witness slight increase but this year is very different with a basket of round shaped tomatoes still selling for as high as N12,000”, She said.
- A look at the Nairametrics food price database showed that a big basket of round shaped tomatoes was sold for an average of N9,000 in November last year while a big basket of oval-shaped tomatoes sold for N7,000.
- Explaining further, Mrs. Makanjuola said the major factor responsible for the sustained increase in the price of food items is insecurity. According to her, farmers are unable to access their farmlands due to the fear of bandits and kidnappers terrorizing the north at the moment.
- Onion traders have expressed concerns about the persistent increase in the price of Onions in the past month. Malam Yisa, a trader at the market spoke to Nairametrics Research team with respect to the increase in price of Onions in the market.
- He said, “farmers are afraid to go to their farmlands because of the kidnappers and bandits terrorizing the area”. According to him, farmers and their family members are being kidnapped by bandits, while demanding for ransom from them before letting them go, hence, the farmers are forced to stay close to their homes and avoid secluded areas of the farm.

Chart of the day: It’s a V Shaped Recovery
A V-Shaped recovery means the Nigeria economy recovered faster than was expected

February 18, 2021
The chart above is V-Shaped!
Nigeria’s Bureau of Statistics revealed on Tuesday that Nigeria reported a real GDP Growth rate of 0.11% for the fourth quarter of 2020, the first time following three consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth rate.
Why this matters
- A V-shaped recovery means the economy got out of a recession faster than expected.
- Several analysts had various predictions on what Nigeria’s economic recovery chart might look like. The predictions were between U, V, L, or W, shaped.
- This was also the headline of the Nairametrics Q3 2020 Economic Outlook Webinar where most of our panelists settled for a U-shaped recovery.
- Most analysts had opined that Nigeria’s GDP Growth rate will contract again in the 4th quarter of 2020 before eeking our growth in the first quarter of 2021.
- However, the latest GDP number indicates a GDP growth rate in the 4th quarter thus a V-shaped recovery.
At 0.11%, this is the slowest GDP Growth rate Nigeria has recorded since the GDP was rebased in 2011. In the second quarter of 2017 when Nigeria also exited a recession, the GDP Growth rate was 0.72% and was considered relatively tepid at the time.

Market insights
- In an interactive session with an Onion seller at Mile-12 market, it was revealed that the reason for the significant nosedive in the price of onions was due to bountiful harvest towards the end of December.
- According to Muhammed, he said this is a period for onion harvest and it is only normal for the price to decline, although it seemed like a significant decline due to the irregular hike witnessed in the price of onions last year as a result of some string of events, such as insecurity, lack of harvest, etc.
- He further mentioned that the reduction in the price of onions is a very positive development for the year, considering the hardship experienced by many Nigerians during the past year.
- “We are happy that the price of onions and other food items have dropped in recent times and we hope it continues this way, because the lesser the price, the more customers are likely to buy,” He added.
- In a bid to understand the cause of the increase in the price of potatoes, Mr. Audu explained to Nairalytics that the price of potatoes increased due to the effect of seasonal fluctuations.
