There is a geographic distribution with foodstuff price, if you are not in the three categories above or not in food selling, catering as a business this might not really concern you.

The fact that a raw material you use to make the food is locally source (in closer market) will not get you more profit, simply because you are doing exactly what others are doing. So what you need to simply do is find a location they sell them cheaper and ship them in.

I know this might look like another much work, but like I said earlier. I am talking to the category of people in business because you already buy in bulk or better still you can predict your use of this products. Not to talk of foodstuff seller you need this to be in business, so how to be more profitable even this year is to acquire this products cheaper.

If you think source from cheaper sources is difficult, simply start by checking your rice price, beans price, garri, oil, etc from another geography add delivery and compare. I bet you it might still be cheaper because some retailer you buy from too gets it from that source and region.
