For example, an imported 128 cell nursery tray can be sold for N400 while a 128 cell nursery tray produced in Nigeria can be sold for N700.

The quality of the seedlings tray

Nigerians generally like cheap products, when they see cheap products; they think they have gotten a good bargain, not knowing that they may be buying sub-standard products.
