A survey conducted by Newsmen on Saturday showed that the prices of stoned, de-stoned local rice and tomatoes had dropped further.
A 50-kilogramme bag of de-stoned local rice now sells between N22, 000 and N23, 000 as against N26, 500 and N28, 000 sold in December.
Also, a 25 kilogramme bag is sold between N11, 000 and N12, 500 as against N12, 000 and N14,000 in December.
A rice dealer at Ogbete Main Market, Mr Dan Joseph, attributed the fall in price to availability of local rice in the market.
