Advisor Asif Mahmood stated that, every year, a week or two before Eid-ul-Adha, unscrupulous traders would manipulate the market, causing the prices of almost all types of spices to increase significantly. However, this year, the situation is different. Compared to last year's Eid, most spice prices have decreased. For example, the price of onions per kilogram, which was around 70-80 BDT last year, is now between 45-50 BDT. Similarly, domestic garlic, which was priced at 190-200 BDT per kilogram last year, is now 110-120 BDT. The price of ginger, which was 220-260 BDT per kilogram, has now dropped to 110-120 BDT. Most spices have seen a decrease in price compared to last year.
