Staple foods saw a decline in both retail and foodservice volume sales in 2023, despite most categories being considered essential by local consumers. Poor economic conditions, exceptionally high inflation and limited consumer spending power forced Nigerians to resort to rationing or to seek substitute unpackaged staple foods. Social activities such as parties, which contribute substantially to demand, declined during the year due to weakened consumer purchasing power.
