Prices of commodities further rise in Port City

Chattogram Bureau :
The prices of rice, sugar, oil, eggs, chilli, broiler chicken have increased in the market. On Friday, the city’s Reazuddin market was visited and the situation of the market was known. Consumers and general traders asked the dealers and factories to emphasize monitoring to control this situation.Meanwhile, every day there are reports of daily commodity price increase. But on the contrary, people’s income is not increasing. Middle and low income people are suffering.
According to them, if the government does not bring the market situation under control, then the situation of the common man will be worse.
Instead of increasing the price of everything, the income needs to be increased. I invite those concerned to pay attention to this. Last year (2022) in the middle of August, the syndicate traders had increased the price of eggs from Tk 150 to Tk 170 per dozen.
The egg market was brought under control by the administration in the last week of September and the middle of October.
But for the past few days, the price of eggs has increased again. Yesterday in different markets, per dozen layer chicken eggs were sold at Tk 140 for red color and Tk 135 for white color. Duck eggs are being sold at Tk 215 to 225 per dozen.Egg seller karim said that there is a shortage of eggs in the market.
So what is there is being sold at a higher price. Producers did not produce layer chickens due to high chicken mortality this winter. As a result, there is a shortage of both eggs and chickens in the market.
