Nigerian market prices · 14 states
What food actually costs, market by market.
Every price here comes from an enumerator standing in a Nigerian market, normalised to a common unit so a bag in Maiduguri can be compared with a bag in Ibadan. Two decades of monthly readings, and a clear note on what the record does not cover.

This is monthly survey data, not a live ticker. The newest month arrives partially reported — July 2026 currently rests on just 2 markets — so headline figures are anchored to June 2026, the newest month enough markets agreed on.
Coverage is uneven by design. The record grew out of humanitarian monitoring in the north-east, so Borno and Yobe are dense while much of the south and the middle belt is thin or absent. Where a state is missing, the honest answer is that nobody surveyed it, not that food is unpriced there.
