Dhaka, Nov. 1 -- After months of high prices straining household budgets, vegetable costs in the capital have eased, offering relief to residents. With winter produce arriving, most vegetables now sell for Tk 50-60 per kilogram, down from the prolonged period of steep inflation.
Despite the overall decline, some items remain costly, with round eggplant still at Tk 120 per kg. Eggs and chicken have also become more affordable, with eggs dropping Tk 5-10 per dozen and chicken Tk 10-20 per kg.
Traders attribute the decline to increased supply and larger shipments reaching city markets, while shoppers welcomed the reprieve, noting that grocery shopping has become more manageable.
