Prices Of Foodstuff In Nigeria 2022 – Weekly Update From The North

Are you curious to know about the current prices of foodstuffs in Nigeria?

Naija News is here to update you on the weekly price of foodstuffs from different states and market locations.

As you may know, food prices in Nigeria have been drastically affected recently by the unstable inflation rate.

Except for local farmers who produce crops mostly for personal consumption and also to sell in portions, going to the market to buy foodstuffs for consumption this day could be heartbreaking due to the high prices.

Meanwhile, market experts have warned that food prices will continue to rise since farming has become unsustainable due to issues including high costs of farming materials, flooding, and insecurity.

Naija News understands that prices of foods such as rice, beans, and vegetables get even higher daily as consumer demand rises; while other items, including fish, poultry, and milk, remain variable due to transportation and processing challenges.

Well, since we cannot do without food, we must plan our budgets on what to buy, where to buy it, and when to buy it to save costs.

In this regard, Naija News will henceforth update you on the current price of mostly consumed foodstuffs in Nigeria so you could be on the safe side of life.
