About cocoa prices in Nigeria
Cocoa — Koko in Hausa, Koko in Yoruba, Koko in Igbo — is usually traded by the tonne. The same tonne can cost very different amounts in a producing state and in a big consumer market like Lagos, and prices move with the harvest calendar, transport costs and festive-season demand. Cocoa is also exported, so local prices follow international demand — see export prices.
Before you buy or sell: compare today's markets above, check the price heatmap, and set a price alert so Agrios tells you when cocoa reaches your target.
