Cattle markets across Bangladesh have become active ahead of the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha, though buyer turnout remains low. Bargaining between buyers and sellers is ongoing as customers seek affordable sacrificial animals. In Titas upazila of Cumilla, 12,165 animals have been prepared against a demand of 11,290, leaving an estimated surplus of 875. Farmers there are focusing on local breeds while also raising Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, and Friesian cattle for higher yields.
In Debiganj upazila of Panchagarh, 23,133 animals have been readied, exceeding the local demand of 17,220 by nearly 6,000. Local markets such as Bhaulaganj and Tepreeganj have started receiving animals, with expectations of supplying to nearby districts. The upazila administration has instructed banks to install counterfeit currency detectors and strengthened market security. In Lakhai upazila of Habiganj, 5,135 animals are prepared, surpassing demand, though rising feed prices are worrying farmers. The livestock office has launched a coordinated plan to ensure safe supply and animal health.
In Bera upazila of Pabna, despite large cattle inflows, sales remain slow due to fewer buyers. Traders attribute this to the growing trend of digital cattle trading in Dhaka, reducing in-person market competition.
