Lettuce is a leafy vegetable rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and
zeaxanthin, a super antioxidant that boosts vision. The commodity, which offers
various health benefits such as promoting digestive health and enhancing bone
strength, currently costs $2,860/tonne(increased by 16.6% in the last one
month).
Whilst lettuce can be grown across most states in Nigeria, domestic
production remains at less than 1% (<200,000 tonnes) of global output (26.87
million tonnes). This presents an opportunity for commercial investment in the
lettuce value chain.
The slides below summarize the events that took place in the domestic
and global commodity markets this week.
