Dhaka city has witnessed a decline in vegetable prices due to a plentiful supply of early varieties of winter vegetables. Most vegetables, including bean, aubergine, radish, cucurbitaceous plant, yard long bean, cauliflower, cabbage, papaya, okra, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, sweet gourd, and green chili, have seen a reduction of Tk 20-30.
Vegetable retailer Mohammad Shahadat Hossain noted the significant decrease, with prices now ranging from Tk 60-80 per kilogram. Expectations are high for further reductions in the next two weeks. However, newly-harvested potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots remain relatively high, ranging from Tk 120-140 per kilogram. Green leafy vegetables have experienced a 50% decline. Residents attribute the decline to a sufficient supply of winter vegetables, emphasizing the need for government monitoring of varying market costs.
