Vegetable and egg prices have eased in Dhaka’s kitchen markets after Eid-ul-Azha, as many residents who left the capital for the holidays have yet to return.
Demand for chicken has also weakened, with many households still stocked with meat from sacrificial animals.
But fish supplies remain limited, with many traders yet to reopen their stalls a week after Eid.
Bangladesh celebrated Eid on May 28, and offices reopened on Monday after a week-long holiday that began on May 25. Educational institutions are due to reopen on Sunday.
On a visit to kitchen markets in Shanir Akhra, Jatrabari and Segunbagicha on Friday, bdnews24.com found prices lower for most vegetables, including green papaya, ridge gourd, sponge gourd, aubergine, bitter gourd, teasel gourd, green chillies, yardlong beans, bottle gourd and ash gourd.
