At the onset of Ramadan, prices of essential food items in Naogaon have risen sharply, according to a field report published on February 18, 2026. The prices of chicken, eggplant, green chili, lemon, ginger, garlic, and dates have all increased, while lentils, chickpeas, and edible oil remain stable. Broiler chicken now sells for 190–200 taka per kilogram, up by 30–40 taka in a week, while garlic and ginger prices have climbed to 130–140 taka per kilogram.
Consumers report struggling to balance household expenses as costs rise without corresponding income growth. Many blame unscrupulous traders for exploiting Ramadan demand and call on the new government to tighten market monitoring. Vendors, however, attribute the price hikes to higher consumer demand rather than supply shortages.
The Naogaon office of the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection stated that markets are being monitored daily and warned that legal action will be taken against any trader found manipulating prices. Officials said further price changes will depend on import levels in the coming weeks.
