📝 Why this price matters

Garri is Lagos's survival food — the cheapest staple at ₦1,256 per paint bucket, affordable enough that even the poorest households can eat. It dropped 39% year-on-year thanks to a strong cassava harvest. Soaked in cold water with sugar and groundnuts, it's a meal that costs under ₦500. Mixed with hot water as eba and paired with soup, it's a full dinner. No other food item is as important to Lagos's food security as garri.
