Dhaka, March 3 -- The ongoing soybean oil crisis, which began nearly a month before Ramadan, still continues, disrupting the market.

Even on the second day (Monday) of Ramadan, supermarkets and shops continue to face shortages of soybean oil.

Visiting to various markets in the capital, including Karwanbazar, Malibagh, Uttar Badda, and Shantinagar Bazar, it was seen that most shops had no soybean oil in stock. While other oils like palm, mustard, rice bran, and sunflower oil were available, soybean oil was nowhere to be found.

Iqbal, a grocer in Malibagh Bazar, said that dealers are not supplying oil according to demand. Despite repeated requests, they claim that the company is not providing the oil.
