A survey conducted by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday at Gadar Bobboji, Kasuwan Bera and Mile Six Markets, has shown that the price has significantly decrease.
Rice worth N650 and N750 weeks ago are now sold for N480 and N550.

When contacted for comment, the leader of rice sellers at Gadar Bobboji Market, Alhaji Nura Mohammed, attributed the price decrease to availability of the commodity in the market.
He said that the bumper harvest recorded by farmers in the state had contributed to the increase in supply.

It was however discovered that the price of foreign rice has slightly increased in the markets.
A measure of foreign rice which costs N950 two weeks ago is now selling at N1, 000, while a 50kg bag of foreign rice has gone up from N18, 500 to N19, 000.
