Borno state is a food basket in the country but the issue of Boko Haram disturbed the farmers from that end ..in the mean time things will surely pick up with the defeat of Shekau disciples ...Nigeria will be better of in the next 2 years God's willing

Today i went to Giwa market in Giwa local government of Kaduna state to purchase food stuff. I was impressed and proud of Nigerian farmers. They truly had à bumper harvest. you would find thousand of bags of different produce from maize, millet, rice, soya beans. The sad side of thé story is the price of these products are on thé high side. They keep increasing every week.
A bag of maize goes for 13,000 last month it was 11,000
A bag of maize for pop corn is sold for 15,000
Beans prices range from 19,000 - 23,000 à bag
Soghourm goes for 16,000 Per bag
millet goes for 12,800

Finally i Wonder why the prices of thèse product keep increasing even with thé large supply of thèse products available. It's seems like the forces of demand and supply dont work in Nigerian market.

How much for a bag of soya beans?
What's the size of the bag?
Am looking to buying at least 1bag a month

Giwa market

this is just one in hundreds of markets scattered all over the country. Nigeria really blessed with excess of abundance, only problem with Nigeria is Nigerians!!!

And the lazy ones come on here and whine about recession

Recession ko, procession ni.

it goes for 13200. the bag is 40 steel Bolw (Tia as they call it locally). like the size of a bag of maize.

Can food and commodity prices ever return to what it was 2 years ago? Enormous damages have been done by this clueless government

For the first time farmers are really happy. The prices of food in the North is driven by high demand from the Nigerian, Nigerien and Chadian side of the border.
Nigeria was importing food massively in Goodluck 's era and the artificial low value of the Naira was the main cause of the low prices. The crude oil crash has corrected the Naira value. Let them price stay high, people will rush into farming

Abduljohn:
Nigeria is blessed and rich in agriculture but the problem is still the wide difference between the elite and farmers. Farming is presented as not being lucrative compared to white collar job and you cant compare the stress involved in both. The best way to give more to the farmers is by recognising their work beyond poverty more reason why prices will keep growing.

the elites are big scale farmers now
