Chief Adviser’s Office Shares Market Update Ahead of Eid
The Chief Adviser’s office has provided an update on the current market conditions, highlighting trends in essential commodities as of March 29.
Rice: Prices remain stable, with premium Miniket varieties staying elevated, while more affordable options hold firm. Supply is sufficient to meet demand.
Chicken: Wholesale prices for broiler chickens are high, with retail prices rising due to diverted regional supplies ahead of Eid. Demand for smaller broilers remains strong.
Eggs: Retail prices of eggs remain steady at Tk. 115 per dozen, with a minimum price of Tk. 110 per dozen. A brief price hike was observed due to increased wholesaler buying, but trends are expected to stabilize post-Ramadan.
Fish: Prices for certain fish varieties remain elevated due to seasonal demand, but market conditions are expected to stabilize before Eid.
Potato: Retail prices are stable at Tk. 22 per kilogram, with new dry potatoes from northern and southern regions ensuring ample supply.
Spices: Prices of Chinese garlic have decreased, while local garlic prices have risen due to maturing stock. Ginger wholesale prices have dropped, and onion prices remain unchanged, with the long-lasting 'Hali' variety leading the market.
Pulses: Wholesale prices for Fine Masoor have fallen, and slight declines have been seen in Chola and Khesari. Retail prices remain stable due to steady imports.
