Vegetable prices declined across Dhaka markets on Thursday, August 21, 2026, as supplies improved after a reduction in prolonged heavy rain. Visits to Nayabazar, Karwan Bazar and Kaliganj Bazar found most vegetables selling below Tk80 per kilogram, although eggplant, tomatoes and new beans remained more expensive. Green chilli prices fell to Tk80-120 per kilogram from Tk250-280 a few days earlier.

Traders said increased supplies, including imported green chillies from India and higher domestic chilli availability, helped bring prices down. Onion prices also fell by about Tk10 to Tk50 per kilogram. A shopper at Nayabazar said vegetable prices had become more normal, while calling for regular market monitoring. A vegetable seller said prices could decline further as new produce reaches markets.

Fish, chicken and eggs remained costly. Broiler chicken sold for Tk190 per kilogram, while white eggs were Tk140 per dozen and neighbourhood shops charged Tk155-160. Fish prices rose by Tk50-100 per kilogram over the week because river fish supplies were lower, according to a fish trader. Packaged and loose flour prices also increased, while rice prices were comparatively stable.
