Current price range for a 25-litre keg of groundnut cooking oil.
A 25-litre keg of groundnut oil is a common bulk purchase for households, caterers, and small food businesses across Nigeria, since buying in this quantity is usually far more economical than buying smaller bottles repeatedly. Groundnut oil is especially popular in the North and among caterers nationwide for its flavour and high smoke point, making it a kitchen staple well beyond its region of production.
Pricing is driven mainly by the cost of raw groundnuts, which fluctuates with harvest quality and seasonal supply -- prices are often lower shortly after harvest season and firmer in the months leading up to the next one. Transport cost also plays a real role, since much of the country's groundnut oil is processed in the North and then distributed to markets across the South, adding haulage cost the further it travels.
Buying from a wholesaler or directly from a processing mill is typically cheaper than buying from a retail market stall, and prices can vary noticeably between a major distribution market and a smaller local one. Some sellers also offer a blend of groundnut oil with other vegetable oils at a lower price point, so it is worth confirming you are comparing pure groundnut oil against pure groundnut oil.
