Why prices differ

Type: TMT (high-yield) rods cost more per tonne than local or recycled rods.
Buying per tonne is cheaper than buying single lengths, because retailers add a margin per piece.
Steel import costs and the naira exchange rate push prices up and down.
Whether the rod is a true full-gauge size: underweight rods sell cheaper but carry less load.
