  • Both large and small traders are affected similarly by political and ethnic-related conflict.
  • Urban traders have a higher probability of experiencing a violence shock, particularly for Boko Haram and banditry.
  • There was a lot of NSAA at the origin (procure) and the destination (supply) of traders’ procurement and supply
