Sorghum Price in Nigeria Today: per Kg and per 100kg Bag — the Grain Behind Nigerian Beer

Nigerian brewers adopted sorghum decades ago when barley imports were restricted, and never fully went back. For Guinness Nigeria and Nigerian Breweries, locally-sourced sorghum is a core brewing input, so a sustained move in this price flows into brewing margins on the NGX. Households, meanwhile, buy the same grain by the 100kg bag for porridge and tuwo — the conversion table above covers both audiences.

The crop is harvested roughly October to December across the northern belt. Because sorghum tolerates drought better than maize, its price often moves less violently — but in bad rain years the two grains substitute for each other and their prices converge.
