Ahead of Eid, Dhaka’s markets are witnessing heavy crowds as consumers rush to buy essentials like semai, sugar, meat, and spices. Field visits show that prices of polao rice, edible oil, chicken, beef, and several spices have increased, while onion, vegetables, and fruits have become cheaper. Traders report that semai and sugar prices remain mostly stable, with sugar selling at Tk 100–105 per kg and local sugar at Tk 140.
According to the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB), sugar prices are lower than last year, but soybean oil, palm oil, lentils, cloves, and broiler chicken have become costlier. Broiler chicken now sells for Tk 220–230 per kg, up from Tk 170–180 a week earlier, while beef prices have risen to Tk 800–850 per kg. In contrast, egg prices have fallen to Tk 90–100 per dozen, and vegetable prices have dropped due to reduced demand as many residents leave the city for Eid.
Retailers also report a shortage of bottled soybean oil, with limited supply forcing customers to buy larger bottles. Fish prices have increased by Tk 20–30 per kg amid lower supply before Eid.
