 Inflation Forces Grinding Machine Operators in Nkpor Market to Hike Service Charges


By Uchechukwu Muolokwu


 The rising cost of goods and services has reached grinding machine operators in Nkpor Market, with operators citing fuel prices, spare parts, and market levies as reasons for new rates.


In an interview, Mr. Moses Ani, a grinding machine operator, said fuel is now the biggest driver of costs.  

“We use fuel to run our machines. Without fuel, the machine cannot operate, so we buy fuel daily,” he said. 


Ani added that replacement parts for grinding machines have become expensive. “To replace a part costs a huge amount. Some operators cannot afford to fix or maintain their machines. Buying a new one can cost as much as ₦400,000”.


Operators also pay market levies, he explained, forcing them to increase charges to remain in business.  

“Before, grinding a penta of soybeans cost ₦900 to ₦1,000. Now it is ₦1,500 to ₦1,700, depending on the operator. To grind one penta of fresh tomatoes is ₦600, which used to be ₦300.”


Mrs. Ngozi Nwachuku, a seed and grain seller who also operates a grinding machine in Nkpor, said grinding seeds into powder consumes large amounts of fuel because it requires three to four cycles.  

“Some customers find it difficult to pay because the price has risen. It is not our fault, but the condition of the country,” she said.


Mrs. Chinenye Obiora, a trader in the market, confirmed the changes. She said grinding two cups of melon now costs ₦200, while one penta of dry pepper costs ₦600.


Operators say the adjustments are necessary to cover running costs and set aside money for repairs when machines break down.
