The prices of staple foods in Nigeria have skyrocketed by at least 40 percent over the past two months, according to a market survey by DAILY POST.

Rice, beans, garri, groundnut oil, tomatoes, and bread have all experienced significant price increases from December 2023 to February 2024. For example, a 50kg bag of rice has increased from N35,000 to N65,000, while garri has risen from N22,000 to N39,500 for a 50kg bag. Other items, such as noodles, groundnut oil, eggs, sugar, bread, and semovita, have also seen substantial price hikes.

The high food inflation in Nigeria has led to increased hardship for Nigerians, who are already struggling with the high cost of living. In December 2023, the consumer price index indicated that food inflation had risen to 33.93 percent. This has sparked dissatisfaction among Nigerians, with many blaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the challenging economic conditions.

The sharp increase in food prices is a significant concern for Nigerians as staple foods are essential for their daily sustenance. Rising prices not only strain household budgets but also affect overall food security in the country. Nigerians are calling on the government to take action to address the issue, such as implementing measures to stabilize prices, improving agricultural production, and implementing policies to alleviate poverty and reduce inequality.

The current situation highlights the need for long-term solutions to address food insecurity in Nigeria. Investing in agriculture, supporting local farmers, and promoting sustainable farming practices can contribute to increased food production and affordability. Additionally, initiatives that focus on empowering small-scale farmers and improving infrastructure for storage and transportation can help reduce post-harvest losses and ensure more stable food prices.

The significant increase in food prices in Nigeria has placed a heavy burden on Nigerians already grappling with a high cost of living. Immediate action is needed to alleviate the hardships faced by Nigerians and address the underlying issues causing food inflation. Long-term efforts should focus on promoting agriculture and improving food security to create a more stable and affordable food market for all Nigerians.
