Ajah Market Adds Basmati, White Beans and 25kg Bags to Its June Price Board

The week of June 1 expanded what Ajah Market puts on its price board. Several products were captured for the first time, which means they have no earlier reading to compare against and should be read as debut prices rather than as increases or decreases. The headline newcomer is premium Basmati, with a 2kg pack of Aani Golden Sella at N11,500 and a 5kg pack at N21,000, placing a high-end import tier next to the market's everyday bags.

White beans arrived with a full set of measures in June, including a 50kg bag, a 25kg bag at N60,000, a paint bucket at N5,000 and a derica at N1,000. The market also recorded fresh 25kg bag prices across its bean and rice range, with a 25kg bag of Oloyin at N35,000, short grain imported rice at N30,000, Vitali long grain at N32,500 and My Choice at N36,500. For buyers who purchase in half-bag quantities, these are the first verified reference points the market has published in this dataset.

Capturing new products and new pack sizes is how a market's price board keeps pace with what traders actually stock. As the wider food basket stays elevated, with the National Bureau of Statistics reporting food inflation back above the headline rate at 16.06% year on year in April 2026, a fuller board gives buyers more ways to find the measure that fits their budget. The arrival of a premium Basmati tier in particular shows demand at Ajah stretching across price points, from the cheapest local bag to imported specialty grain.

Live readings sit on the Ajah Market real-time prices page, and the new pack sizes can be lined up on the price check tool.
