How Much Is Soursop in Nigeria? 2026 Prices for Fruit, Leaves, Powder and Teabags

In October 2026, a single soursop fruit in Nigeria costs about ₦600 to ₦1,500 depending on size and where you buy, with online grocers selling packs of four to seven fruits for ₦7,000 to ₦15,000. Dried soursop leaves cost from about ₦4,000 for 100 whole leaves (xHerbs) to ₦10,000 for a paint bucket in Lagos markets. Soursop teabags run about ₦6,500 for 30, and soursop powder from about ₦4,250 for 50 g to well over ₦80,000 for 450 g of an imported brand. The old figure of "₦200 to ₦500 a fruit" that still circulates online is from 2018 and is long out of date. Below are dated prices for every form, why they vary so much, and how to get the best value.

Where these prices come from: Nigerian online grocers, Jumia, Jiji listings and specialist herb stores checked on 13 and 14 October 2026. Jiji prices are individual sellers' asks. Soursop is seasonal, so fruit prices swing through the year.

Soursop fruit price in Nigeria (October 2026)

• Single fruit: about ₦600 at one online farm store, rising to ₦1,000 to ₦1,500 for large fruits in Lagos supermarkets and grocers.

• Fresh fruit is a food, not a tea source. Buy it in season for eating; use leaves for tea.

Why soursop prices vary so much

1. Season: fruit is plentiful and cheap from about May to September and scarce the rest of the year.
2. Size: a large soursop can weigh over 2 kg. Per-fruit prices mean little without the size.
3. Form: drying, grinding and packing add cost. Imported brands add shipping and duty.
4. Location: Lagos and Abuja delivery prices run far above farm-gate prices in the south-west and south-south.
5. Delivery: a ₦600 fruit can cost ₦3,000 by the time it reaches your door. Compare the delivered total.

Before you buy soursop leaves for tea

Price is only half the decision. Dried leaves should be hard, intact and sweet-smelling, with no musty smell or mould, and soursop tea has real limits: no more than two cups a day with breaks, and none in pregnancy, Parkinson's disease, or kidney or liver disease.
