"You can source Egusi (Melon) cheaply from Lafia
Market in Nasarawa State, also in Mokwa , Kutigi,
Zungeru in Niger State". I copied this post from my facebook friend. I tried to make more enquiry about the price and transportation costs, he couldn't provide me with the answer .pls any one here e
with useful information on how to buy, the price, direction of market and cost per bag. I need melon and other food items in large quantities

any one from nasarawa and niger state can help a brother. thanks in anticipation

am currently serving in nassarawa state as a corper.......nassarawa eggon quite close to akwanaga and lafia.

but am not sure is this thread is alive......

pls just comment to know if am not wasting my time

am presently in abuja the price of a mudu is #1500 but i met someone here on nairaland and he said a bag is #112,000/bag and that is over #1750/mudu it sounds unbelievable to me
well am still waiting for his response
i will update here

iam from Niger state,currently agushi is scarce even in Niger state.no agushi in zungeru currently. the price of the above guy is true because a mudu even in minna is 1700

am a batch a 2019 call member curently serving in nassarawa-eggon nassarawa state,

but am presently in abuja for a short holiday......will be going back by weekend

a mudu of egusi in abuja is #1500.....i confirmed that today at zuba market.

that is why am suprised.......

this makes me to believe that the price of a mudu in lafia market should not be more than #1200-#1300

you see the agushi is not a something difficult to farm.but people neglect it farming because the price is not favourable for farmers in the last three years.in Niger state around August a bag of agushi unpeeled ones is 8k but now is 30k.and not even the 30k be the problem but getting it.its really scarce only people that store it have it now. but pls when you go back to Nassarawa update us with the current price there.

i will definately cos am also very much interested in the biz
i should be able to post an update nxt week
