Abstract

Background and Objectives: One of the notable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the associated lockdowns is the alteration of spending patterns of consumers owing to the level of food price inflation. This study was designed to evaluate the covid-19 influenced changes in food commodity prices and estimate its impact on consumers' behaviour. Methods: The study design captured eight states across various geographical zones in Nigeria. The methodology consists of primary data collection of food price differentials from traders in 11 urban markets and the corresponding consumers purchasing behaviours. September 2019, May-June, 2020 and March 2021 were designated as the pre-covid-19 lockdown (PrCL), the peak of nationwide lockdown (PNL) and post covid-19 lockdown (PoCL) reference points. Results: Results revealed a significant increase in price of staple foods at the peak of national lockdown (PNL) and post-covid-19 lockdown in Nigeria (Rice -1.8-2.2kg;PrCL =$2.10- 3.67;PNL=$2.62-4.72;PoCL =$2.62-6.56;Wheat -1.1-1.9kg;PrCL =$0.71-1.84;PNL=$0.79-2.62;PoCL =$0.92-3.94;Maize - 1.3-1.9kg;PrCL =$0.39-1.44;PNL=$0.52-1.97;PoCL =$0.60- 2.76;Garri - 1.35-1.5kg;PrCL =$0.92-1.84;PNL=$0.92-2.36;PoCL =$0.92-2.89;Yam -0.9-3kg;PrCL =$1.97-3.94;PNL=$1.97-5.25;PoCL =$1.97-5.25;Beans -1.2-2kg;PrCL =$0.66-2.10;PNL=$1.05- 2.49;PoCL =$1.44-2.49;Groundnut -1.2-1.6kg;PrCL =$0.79-2.36;PNL=$0.92-2.36;PoCL =$1.44-2.36;common leafy vegetables - 0.2-0.4kg;PrCL =$0.13-0.31;PNL=$0.13-0.59;PoCL =$0.24- 0.52;common non-leafy vegetables 0.2-1kg;PrCL =$0.13-0.79;PNL=$0.26-2.10;PoCL =$0.26-2.10;Mackerel and Scumbia fish 0.36-1kg;PrCL =$0.79-3.67;PNL=$1.57-3.67;PoCL =$1.31-3.94;Beef -1kg;PrCL =$2.62-4.20;PNL=$2.62-6.30;PoCL =$2.49-5.25;A crate of egg -2.8-3.2kg;PrCL =$1.57-2.62;PNL=$2.62-3.94;PoCL =$3.15-3.94).

Conclusion: Efforts should be made by government, food producers, distributors and all stakeholders to cushion the long-standing ripple effect of covid-19 pandemic lockdown on food prices and purchasing behaviour.

背景和目标:2019冠状病毒病大流行以及相关的封锁造成的显著影响之一是食品价格通胀水平改变了消费者的支出模式。本研究旨在评估受covid-19影响的粮食商品价格变化，并估计其对消费者行为的影响。方法:研究设计捕获了尼日利亚不同地理区域的八个州。该方法包括从11个城市市场的贸易商那里收集食品价格差异的原始数据以及相应的消费者购买行为。2019年9月、2020年5月至6月和2021年3月被指定为新冠肺炎疫情前、全国范围内的封锁高峰和疫情后的封锁参考点。结果:结果显示显著增加主食的价格在国家封锁的高峰期(PNL)和post-covid-19锁定在尼日利亚(大米-1.8 -2.2公斤;PrCL = 2.10 - 3.67美元;PNL = 2.62 - -4.72美元;PoCL = 2.62 - -6.56美元;小麦-1.1 -1.9公斤;PrCL = 0.71 - -1.84美元;PNL = 0.79 - -2.62美元;PoCL = 0.92 - -3.94美元;玉米- 1.3 - -1.9公斤;PrCL = 0.39 - -1.44美元;PNL = 0.52 - -1.97美元;PoCL = 0.60 - 2.76美元;加里- 1.35 - -1.5公斤;PrCL = 0.92 - -1.84美元;PNL = 0.92 - -2.36美元;PoCL = 0.92 - -2.89美元;山药-0.9 - 3公斤;PrCL = 1.97 - -3.94美元;PNL = 1.97 - -5.25美元;PoCL = 1.97 - -5.25美元;豆类-1.2 - 2公斤;PrCL= 0.66 - -2.10美元;PNL = 1.05 - 2.49美元;PoCL = 1.44 - -2.49美元;花生;-1.2 - -1.6公斤PrCL = 0.79 - -2.36美元;PNL = 0.92 - -2.36美元;PoCL = 1.44 - -2.36美元;常见的蔬菜——0.2 -0.4公斤;PrCL = 0.13 - -0.31美元;PNL = 0.13 - -0.59美元;PoCL = 0.24 - 0.52美元;常见non-leafy蔬菜0.2 1公斤;PrCL = 0.13 - -0.79美元;PNL = 0.26 - -2.10美元;PoCL = 0.26 - -2.10美元;鲭鱼和Scumbia鱼0.36 1公斤;PrCL = 0.79 - -3.67美元;PNL = 1.57 - -3.67美元;PoCL = -3.94; 1.31美元1公斤牛肉;PrCL = 2.62 - -4.20美元;PNL = 2.62 - -6.30美元;PoCL = -5.25; 2.49美元一箱鸡蛋-2.8 -3.2公斤;PrCL = 1.57 - -2.62美元;PNL = 2.62 - -3.94美元;PoCL= $ 3.15 - -3.94)。大约一半的消费者承认，受covid-19影响的食品价格通胀对他们的购买行为产生了影响，因此采取了若干应对措施。结论:政府、食品生产商、分销商和所有利益攸关方应作出努力，缓解covid-19大流行封锁对食品价格和购买行为的长期连锁反应。
