The article examines the growth and operations of some grain markets in Borno state. The study examined the growth and processes of five grain markets across the state. The markets are located in urban centres whereby they get grains from the surrounding areas. The study found that congestion in the conventional markets, the rise of urban centres, and the increase in population necessitated the emergence and growth of grain markets across the state. These markets serve as distribution centres of grains to other parts of the country. The study used the qualitative research method using primary and secondary sources of data collection.
