Why is Nigerias sachet economy booming?
Buying items in small sachets, instead of full size packs, is nothing new in Nigeria. \nBut over the past year, an ever wider range of products have become available in these small plastic pouches. \nEven sanitary pads are sold in packs of just two.\nThey may be cheaper, but they aren\u2019t always economical in the long run.\nInflation in Nigeria peaked at 18% last year. And food inflation reached a high of 23%.\nIt means people\u2019s wages aren\u2019t stretching as far at the market.\nAnd people are finding they can\u2019t afford to buy full sized products.\nSo, is the sachet economy here to stay?
