The average cost of preparing a pot of jollof rice, a popular delicacy among Nigerians, rose 7.8 per cent between March 2020 and March 2021 in the country, a report has said.
The report by SBM Intelligence, a research organisation, said this in its latest Jollof Index report.
The SBM Jollof Index tracks how much it costs to make a pot of jollof rice across 13 markets in six geopolitical zones for a family of five or six, and uses the figures to measure the inflationary trends in the country.
The National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday said Nigeria’s inflation rate rose to 18.17 per cent in March, amid accelerating increase in food prices.
