They further hoped that the prices of other farm produce and essential commodities would crash to enable the citizens to lead a comfortable life.

The vegetables affected by the price reduction included bell pepper, tomatoes, and red pepper. The survey showed that a basket of tomatoes now costs N6,000 as against N35,000 in October 2024, while a 50 kg bag of red pepper, sold at N75,000 before, now goes for N16,000.
