A week ago, a low-income buyer could go to the market with 100 rupees, buy a kilo of rice for 45 rupees, half a kilo of onion for 16 rupees, two hundred and fifty grams of legumes for 20 rupees, and two hundred and fifty milliliters of soybean oil for the remaining 18 rupees, which lasted about two days. . But now that calculation is completely unfounded. If there is onions on the market list, nothing will be bought except one kg of rice.
Mugdar garment worker Amena Khatun was forced to remove the onion from the market list. Standing in Mugda Bazaar on Thursday, she was telling Kaler Kantha: “Rice, legumes, oil, onions are all necessary things. Rice legumes are not eaten without oil. However, the price of the onion, when you go to buy all the money, it is gone. So I left it out. ‘
However, Mahmudur Hasan, another buyer in the same market, has reduced all the products without removing them from the list. He was saying to this private company employee: ‘You have to eat. But I can’t buy as much as my family used to buy. Everything is expensive. The price of onion has suddenly risen to Rs 100.
The country’s onion union has made the market list random. With the cessation of imports from India, the price of domestic onions has increased by 100 Tk in 24 hours from Monday to Tuesday last and imported onions are sold at 75-80 Tk. But warehouses, wholesale markets, retail markets – there is no shortage of onions anywhere. Abdur Razzak, a salesman for Raj Traders, an onion warehouse in Shyambazar, also blamed consumers for the price increase. According to him, “If buyers do not buy in a hurry, the price would not rise suddenly and would rise slowly.”
Tuesday’s shopping panic, however, was not seen yesterday. Consumers who have lost income in Corona are now buying products with a lot of calculation. Many stores were unable to sell a kilo of onion in half an hour after visiting the retail markets. The price has not gone up. In the retail markets, including Mugda, Malibagh, Gopibagh, Segundobagicha, good quality domestic hybrid onions have been sold at Rs 100 per kg. Slightly lower onions were sold at 90 Tk / kg, while imported onions were sold at 75 Tk / kg.
Ginger market with onions. All types of ginger are above Rs 160 per kg in the retail market. Ginger imported from China must be purchased at a price of more than Rs 240 per kg. And garlic costs Rs 90 per kg.
With the exception of onions, consumers continue to shop comfortably. Except for broiler chicken, all other products are more expensive on the market. Rice, legumes, oil, fish, meat, eggs, potatoes and vegetables: the price of nothing has not dropped.
There is no rice below Rs 42 on the market now. Good quality Miniket rice, Nazirshail, seems to buy between Rs 56-64 / kg. Coarse lentil beans Rs 60-65 / kg, local small grain lentil beans Rs 120.
However, the prices of various vegetables, such as papaya, patol and kachumukhi, have dropped from Rs 10-15 per kg to Rs 60 or less this week. But now the price of most vegetables, including karla, barbati, chichinga, eggplant and kankrol, is above Rs 60 per kg.
After analyzing the prices of 20 vegetables in the market yesterday, it was found that the prices of seven vegetables were below Tk. The lowest price is Rs 35-40 per kg of papaya. Patol 40-50 rupees per kg. The rest is over 60 rupees. The highest price is tomato, 110-120 rupees per kg. Eggplant Rs 70-80 and Barbati Rs 60-70 per kg. Also, the price of raw chili is Rs 180-200 per kg as before. Potato prices have risen slightly. Last week potatoes were available at Rs 36 per kg, but potatoes below Rs 40 will not be bought this week.
The price of broiler chicken has dropped by Rs 20-25 per kg. The broilers were sold yesterday at a retail price of 110 Tk per kg at Mugda Bazaar. Chicken eggs from the farm are sold at the above price of Tk 110 per dozen. It costs 150 rupees to buy a farm duck egg. The price of beef has also dropped a bit. It is now available at 550 rupees per kg.
