Why Nigerian Manufacturers Struggle to Price Profitably Without Cost Records
Pricing is the most consequential financial decision a manufacturing business makes, and most Nigerian manufacturers make it without reliable cost data. When you do not know your true cost per unit — including direct materials, direct labour, manufacturing overhead, and the cost of waste and rework — it is impossible to set a price that consistently delivers profit.
Raw material cost is the largest variable in most manufacturing operations and requires the most systematic tracking. Material prices in Nigeria are highly volatile due to exchange rate movements and logistics costs. A raw material inventory that records the actual landed cost of every batch gives you the data to reprice products quickly when input costs change.
