Why Africa's largest food market still operates like an informal economy

There is a contradiction at the heart of Nigeria's food system that has become increasingly difficult for me to ignore, particularly when viewed against the scale of economic activity that takes place every day across the food value chain serving Lagos.

Lagos is widely regarded as Africa's largest food market, with millions of consumers depending daily on an intricate network of farmers, traders, transporters, processors, aggregators and retailers who collectively move enormous volumes of food into the city from virtually every part of Nigeria and, increasingly, from neighbouring countries. Yet despite the sheer scale of this activity and the trillions of naira that exchange hands annually through food transactions, much of the system continues to function with characteristics that are more commonly associated with informal economies than with modern food markets.

Food moves through the system with limited visibility, quality standards are often inconsistent, market information remains fragmented, logistics networks are poorly coordinated, and commercial relationships continue to rely heavily on personal trust and informal arrangements rather than structured systems capable of supporting a market of this magnitude. While these characteristics may have been sufficient when cities were smaller and supply chains less complex, they are increasingly becoming constraints in an environment where urban populations are expanding rapidly, and consumer expectations continue to evolve.

What makes this particularly significant is that informality within Nigeria's food economy does not exist at the margins of the system; rather, it exists at scale. Large volumes of agricultural produce are moved every day through networks that have evolved organically over decades, but which often lack the transparency, coordination and efficiency required to consistently deliver optimal outcomes for producers, traders and consumers alike. As a result, it is not uncommon to observe situations where food is available in abundance in production zones while shortages emerge in consumption centres, or where farmers struggle with weak farmgate prices while consumers simultaneously experience rising food costs.

These outcomes are often interpreted as evidence of inadequate production, but I increasingly believe that the more fundamental challenge lies elsewhere. In many cases, the issue is not the quantity of food being produced, but the effectiveness of the systems responsible for aggregating, transporting, storing, financing and distributing that food once it leaves the farm.

As I reflect on the evolution of food systems around the world, I am increasingly convinced that the next chapter of agricultural transformation in Nigeria will be written less by those who produce food and more by those who successfully organize the systems through which that food moves.
