Daily essentials are burning holes in pockets. 🔥 Prices of brinjal, cucumber, lemons, and farmed fish have shot up due to rain and higher transport costs, while chicken prices also climbed. Consumers say a Tk1,000 grocery budget now lasts only a day instead of four.
Some relief comes from steady rice, eggs, beef, and hilsa prices, while bottle gourd, okra, and bitter gourd remain unchanged. Traders blame floods, transport issues, and fish escaping enclosures during monsoon for the hikes.
With kitchen markets seeing no major fall despite official claims, households continue to reel under pressure.
