You left for Chad and nobody heard from you in a while.

I was injured around somewhere in Nigeria, hence the silence needed to heal

Do you know the cost of transportation from noth to south.

Do you know the amount of settlement you'll settle for every 5 poles of distance. This is the major cause of price increase. Imagine settling almost 200 points from north to south


You'll settle
Police
Army
Produce
Customs
Navy

Sometimes when I see this type of comments it leaves me wondering where this has come to stay from!

See while it's a part, but it's not the cause majorly, as a farmer with over 10+ years of experience in both the 36 states of Nigeria and 12 countries I can tell you it's not true, and also a stunch biz man.

To transport a bag of beans from Gombe to PH is 5k or to Asaba is 5k, so how this it mke it expensive?

From Maiduguri to Owerri my truck of food arrived this morning and its 5k a bag or to Asaba 5k

Gid bless you.
The truth about the high cost of foodstuffs in the south is just greed. Our southern brothers want maximum profit by all means.

Another cause could be the low productivity or production of food in the South

My dear NL family, happy Sunday �

So their has been a question that has been troubling me for a while.

The question is why is food expensive in Nigeria

Okay in a simpler term, why is food expensive in southern Nigeria, while stuffs brought from Southern Nigeria into northern Nigeria aren't as so expensive as the price margin difference.

For example I bought a cartoon of fish for 3k in Brono state, and coming to Delta that has water ooo that's same fish is costing 15k.

Talk of beans I bought for 8k a bag and in PH it's 44k a bag where transport to PH is 8k ooo
Here is the videos

Some months back a bag of beans was selling for 33k in Brono and here it's was 55k in Asaba

Here is the videos

Rice is was less than 30k a bag in Brono yet its was selling or 40k in DELTA

HERE IS THE VIDEO

A friend of mine from Sokoto told my a few days back that Onions is now 40k a bag, for mew one and 110k for old one and the price in Calabar is something else.

What about in Maiduguri when Onions was 7k a bag and it was 70k in Lagos.

Why? Transportation isn't the issue because this price am giving are the major marker prices in the south and it cost max of 10k to transport per bag to any states

You are a great and considerate person for creating a Query Sensitization Thread like this.


You See;

Many of the Monetary and Financial Informations that you revealed on here are unknown by many people.... however - many of them will not think about how this revealing information can empower them.

That's exactly how WASTEFUL alot of Nigerians are.

They Waste Natural Resources;

They go on to even Waste Their Personal Human Resources;


So, why won't they Waste Informational Resources that are propelled to them on a Platter of Gold ?






You See;


The First thing I want you to know is the response to your question.


The reason food is expensive in the southern part of Nigeria is simply because The POOR Participation and Investment of People of The South in Agriculture.

And The Reason Alot of people aren't invested in Agriculture isn't because they are NOT INTERESTED in Agriculture, but they consider Agriculture as A Very STRESSFUL Business because They LACK Support of Farm Machineries That Should Be Supplied to Them to EASE Their Agricultural Engagements.




On The Other Hand;


Food is very cheap in the North simply because Many People are Widely Invested in The Right Needed Foods and The Government of The Northern States Go As Far As Supporting All Their Farmers and Intending Farmers with Farm Machineries like Tractors, Irrigation Facilities, Fertilizers, Herbicides, Harvesting Equipments etc at a very cheap cost.


The Northern State Government Understands The Secret Behind True Wealth which Is Basically "Food"; Hence They do alot in administering concrete Agricultural Projects that should Empower Their Citizens who are ready to Function as Farmers.



This is what is needed in the south if we want food items to be cheaper and moderate too.
Hence; Any

I am.into agribusiness. I buy from North. The cost of transportation is expensive. If I buy a bag of Nigeria rice for 33k. Waybill using truck is 2k. Transporting from Lagos oark to my shop will cost me roughly 500h or 1k per bag. If I decide to sell this bag for 38-39k, you cant call.that greed.

I pay bills. From shop rent, Levies, miscellaneous etc. I need to make savings and pay Bill's at home from this same profit.

Even tho some inflate prices.but the expenses outweighs the profit believe me

Cost of living in the south is way higher than north. You have surplus there so, demand is low so price will definitely be cheap. Unlike here, goods are scarce, demand is high so price will be high.

If we have the resources, strength and passion to go into farming like in the north, south will be like north too when it comes to availability of foodstuff.

My view

This food businesses loooks inviting but na how to start be Koko
