The prices of at least three common grocery items have gone up at Dhaka's wet markets in the past week, with vendors citing days of continuous rain and flooding in different parts of the country as the cause.
However, some buyers say traders are using the weather as an excuse to drive up their prices.
On Friday, a visit to Mohammadpur Town Hall Wet Market, Mohammadpur Krishi Market and Karwan Bazar showed some changes to the prices of vegetables.
NGO worker Mohammad Osman was returning from a visit to the wet market at Mohammadpur Town Hall this morning.
"They are asking for more money. We can’t afford it. Our incomes don’t go up every week," he told bdnews24.
