Lokoja Intelligence Maps Nigeria’s Food-Trade Corridors
A market-intelligence service tracking commodity prices, haulage-adjusted sourcing costs, and trader demand across Nigeria’s food markets.
Field notes
Lokoja combines field-verified market prices with corridor-level haulage calculations, refreshing the displayed economics against diesel costs each week. Its public example compares maize routes into Aba and separates sticker price from landed cost, while a WhatsApp exchange shows prices by 50kg bag, 100kg bag, tonne, and 30-tonne lorry. The service also classifies incoming questions by commodity, location, trade size, language, and timestamp, turning routine price enquiries into a demand dataset.
