Onion prices continue to remain high in Dhaka kitchen markets, despite imports coming into this country from neighbouring India.

After around eight months, the price of onion come down to Tk30 per kg in the retail market of Dhaka due to falling demand as most restaurants are shut amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Supply chain disruption and temporary closure of businesses amid a government-announced ‘holiday’ to curb coronavirus transmission have pushed up meat prices by as much as Tk 250/kg in Dhaka.
