Dhaka residents are grappling with skyrocketing prices as the supply of fish and vegetables plummets, hit by seasonal scarcity, heavy rains, and flooding. Vendors say this time of year usually brings abundant fish, yet this season only farmed tilapia and pangas are under Tk 400 per kg. Popular river fish now fetch between Tk 600 and Tk 1,000 per kg. Hilsa supply has slightly improved, but remains expensive — 800–900g fish are priced at Tk 1,800–2,000. Vegetable prices have surged again, with no quality produce under Tk 70–80 per kg. Eggplants cost up to Tk 120, bitter gourd and cucumber Tk 100, and green chilies an eye-watering Tk 240 per kg. Onion prices have also climbed to Tk 80–85 per kg.
