Ahead of Ramadan, prices of tomato and pepper have soared by 60 per cent in some markets in Lagos, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

A NAN survey conducted at Mile 12, Oke Odo, Oyingbo and Iddo markets, Lagos, revealed that a 40 kilogramme basket of tomato, which cost N5,000 two weeks ago, had risen to N12,000.

Similarly, a 50 kg basket of bell pepper (tatashe) had risen to N12, 000 from its previous price of N6,000; 50 kg Chilli pepper (sombo) cost N9,000 as against N5,000, while a basket of scotch bonnet pepper (rodo) cost N13,500 as against N9,000.

A market leader at the Mile 12 Perishable Traders Association, Alhaji Haruna Mohammed, attributed the price increase to off-season effect and cost of transportation.

He, however, maintained that the prices of food items were still relatively cheaper compared to the same period two years ago.

Mohammed said the influx of perishable food items from the South-West states and Cameroon into the market would make up for the shortfall of supply from the North, and ensure that their prices were not too high.

Conversely, the price of a bag of onion decreased from N15,000 to N13, 000; 25 litres of palm oil dropped from N9,000 to N8,200 and a five-litre vegetable oil cost N2,400.

Dont mind the OP. From the thread it is 100% and not 60% as he said. Even in the market it is close to a 100% increment

Prove you & nogragra are ignorant.
Same ignorance which has made you people walk the earth like wild animals.
Same ignorance which ought to become a crime in written law with prescribed punishment.
And no... I mean not to spite you, I was also ignorant. Try to enlighten yourselves and you'd enjoy it.

Dis has nothing to do with Nigerians being opportunists. D increase in price in tomatoes started weeks before now and if U noticed U'll realise there are now more unripe ones in d market. D price is going up becos they are running out of stock and are now even harvesting unripe ones... Tomatoes in particular has a season and it jus coincided with d ramadan

This is the best news ever. At ijebu-Ode, Rodo flour bag have been sold for peanuts (6-9k) when the same quantity was sold for 18k last year. Na to gather labourer enter farm this week.

Hmn. Start planting vegetables in your homes. Create a garden in your backyard or in your compound, if you own the house. My parents did this when I was a child and we grew tomatoes, cabbage, Waterleaf, Yams etc in our house. We used the tomatoes we grew to cook soup sometimes. So we saved some small change every now and then. It all adds up as good savings after a year. Please, start growing some vegetables in your house. Cheers.
