Lagos Food Market Update: February 2026 sees price increases and modest declines

Food prices across major Lagos markets — Mushin, Daleko, Mile 12 and Oyingbo — recorded a mixed pattern in February 2026, with more items posting increases compared to January, even as a larger number of staples saw price moderation.

Nairametrics market survey shows that 26 food items recorded price increases in February, up from 15 items in January.

On the other hand, 35 items declined in price, although this was lower than the 49 items that recorded reductions in the previous month.
