Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on Thursday said prices of edible oil may fall in Bangladesh in line with declining prices in the international market.
“We have seen that the prices of edible oil are declining in the international market and Indonesia has also withdrawn its ban on exporting edible oil. We will review the prices of oil within five to seven days and will fix new rate. It will take one and a half month time to come into effect,” he said.
