The price of vegetables has increased in summer April 26, 2024

The price of vegetables has increased in summer. The prices of all types of vegetables have increased by Tk 10 to Tk 20 in the last one week due to low supply in the market during the monsoon season. Vendors say the heat wave has affected the supply of vegetables. Farmers are wasting vegetables to eat. As a result, the market price increased. On the other hand, the price of ginger-garlic is also increased in the market. Such a picture can be seen after visiting different markets of the capital yesterday.

Traders say that one of the reasons for the increase in the price of vegetables is that the cost of production has also increased due to repeated irrigation. That is why the price of vegetables is high in the village. It has been seen in various markets of the capital that papaya, which is always within reach, is now being sold at 50 to 60 taka. Which is within 40 rupees most of the year. Apart from this, after Eid, the price of potatoes increased by Tk 15 per kg and is being sold at Tk 55 to Tk 60 depending on the quality. Which was between 40 and 50 taka before Eid. Apart from this, brinjal is being sold at Tk 70 to Tk 80, Kakarol Tk 70 to Tk 80, Dhars Tk 60 to Tk 70, Patol Tk 60 to Tk 80. Vegetables like sajne, usta, bitter gourd and jing are being sold at Tk 80 to Tk 100 per kg. Mahmood Khan, a seller of Malibagh market, said that the supply of vegetables is low. Vegetables are getting spoiled in summer. That is why the price has increased. He said that the prices of most vegetables have increased by Tk 8-10 per kg in the last one week. In that way, it is being sold at an increased price in the Dhaka market. Lemons are being sold at the rate of Tk 40 per half in the market. In some places, 60 rupees were seen to be sold. Due to hot weather, the demand for lemons has increased and the prices have increased, the sellers said. Domestic garlic is being sold in the market for 150 to 180 taka per kg.
