Rotobi Market is the main place where provision retailers go to buy their goods in large quantities.
What makes Rotobi Market special is that it is strictly for wholesale buying.
When I went there, I already knew that most traders do not sell in small quantities. The products are usually sold in full cartons, bags, or large packages, not by counting pieces. This is why many retailers come here to restock their shops.
Whenever I walk through Rotobi Market, I see different kinds of provision items like noodles, biscuits, beverages, milk, canned foods, detergents, and other household products stacked in cartons. The traders there focus mainly on supplying shop owners who will later take the goods back to their neighborhoods to resell.
Coming to Rotobi Market helps retailers buy at lower prices because the goods are sold in bulk. After buying, many people arrange their cartons and use wheelbarrows, buses, or delivery riders to transport the goods back home or to their shops.
So if you're looking for where to get your provisions, go to Rotobi lane inside Douglas market in Owerri.
