How to read this board. Every figure is an actual agent-observed price in the market's own trading unit — mudu, paint tin, tuber, or 50 kg bag. Prices are shown with the date they were recorded, so you always know how fresh each number is. Only rice is quoted in a standardized 50 kg bag, so it is the one commodity we compare directly across markets below.
Current price board — Suleja
Latest reading per commodity at Babangida Market, with price direction and supply as reported by the agent on the day.
Rice — cross-market read (standardized 50 kg bag)
Rice is quoted in the same unit everywhere, so it is the only honest spatial comparison today. Suleja is highlighted.
💡 Trade read
Suleja rice (₦55,000) is level with Ibadan / Oyo (₦55,000) and above Isara / Ogun (₦50,000). After long-haul transport on the Niger → Oyo corridor, there is no profitable rice trade out of Suleja right now — the prices have converged.
That is the reliability signal doing its job: fresh data on both ends stops a trader chasing a spread that has already closed. When a real gap opens, the same board will show it — with a date attached.
Price movement — 3 market visits
The same agent returned to Babangida Market three times across August, so we can see direction, not just a single snapshot.
Rice eased ₦56,000 → ₦55,000 over two weeks; maize firming; supply held normal throughout.
Where a Suleja trader ships — Oyo & Abuja
Latest readings at two common destination markets. Units differ market to market, so read these as context, not as a like-for-like spread.
*Ibadan yam reported per 100 tubers (₦150,000) and normalized to a per-tuber figure. Maize is quoted per mudu in Suleja and Abuja but per 50 kg bag in Oyo — a spread may exist but cannot be quoted reliably until the units are standardized. That mudu → kg conversion is the single highest-value data fix for the Niger corridors.
📋 About this data
These prices come directly from a TradeFlow NG field-agent export, recorded in person at Babangida Market, Suleja, on 10, 17 and 24 August 2026 by agent tfn_ng_002. They reflect actual observed trading values in local units.
- Each reading carries the date it was recorded, so freshness is visible at a glance
- Only rice is quoted in a standardized 50 kg bag; maize, tomato and yam are in local units (mudu, paint tin, tuber) and are not directly comparable across markets until normalized
- Cross-market comparisons are limited to commodities that share a unit, to avoid false arbitrage from unit mismatch
- This board is compiled from the field export and is not yet reflected in the live dashboard — the ingestion step that feeds the database last ran on 24 Aug with data through 11 Aug, so these August submissions have not yet been loaded
- TradeFlow NG does not guarantee prices — these are field intelligence estimates for planning purposes only
Reliable prices, then the trade
Fresh field data is the foundation. Once these August readings are ingested and units standardized, the optimizer surfaces the profitable routes automatically — and flags the ones that have closed.
