The price of edible oil may rise again in Bangladesh if it is increased in Brazil as the country imports it from the Latin American country, said Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on Saturday.
The minister said this while talking to journalists at Sheikh Shafi Commerce College in Lalmonirhat.
“The prices of essentials usually go up during the month of Ramadan. Efforts are on to keep the prices stable in the market during the period,” he said, adding that the selling of goods through OMS will be doubled during Ramadan.
