According to The Punch, onion producers in Kaduna under NOPPMAN expect yuletide demand to push prices higher, with some bags already quoted well above mid-year levels.
The report cites the association saying supply timing and harvest cycles across producing states could keep prices elevated into early 2026.
Onion prices are a major kitchen-staple indicator, feeding into broader food inflation and household spending pressures.
Analysis/Echotitbits take: Food inflation hits hardest at Christmas when demand spikes. Watch market arrival volumes from Kebbi and other producing states in January–March, and whether logistics and storage improvements can smooth seasonal price swings.
