From Farm to Market

The Heart of Lagos's Food Supply

Before the city wakes, the trucks are already arriving. From Benue, Kogi, Plateau, and the farms of northern Nigeria, the produce that will feed millions of Lagos residents begins its journey to Mile 12. By 5AM, the fruits and vegetables section is in full swing, a chorus of haggling, stacking, and loading that has repeated every morning for over four decades.

Our traders carry tomatoes, tatashe, scotch bonnets, onions, yam, plantain, cassava, watermelon, garden eggs, okra, ugu, bitter leaf, uziza, and more. Everything a Lagos kitchen, restaurant, or hotel needs, available in retail and wholesale quantities.

Produce is sourced directly from farms in Benue, Kogi, Kaduna, Plateau, and Ogun states, as well as imported exotics from across West Africa. Mile 12 is the shortest route between Nigerian farmland and your table.
