Supply of branded bottled soybean oil still remains disrupted, allowing fake companies to capitalise on the situation.
Meanwhile, rice and broiler chicken prices increased further last week, battering the consumers.
Rice prices are higher amid the peak Aman harvesting season. It is now the peak season and newer rice varieties are being supplied in the market.
But in the meantime, the wholesale and retail prices of rice have increased again.
Meanwhile, soybean oil supply has not normalised. The government has increased price of soybean oil by Tk8.0 a litre to Tk175.
Eleven days have passed since then, but supply of soybean oil in the market has not normalised, said consumers and grocers.
Most of the grocers the FE has interviewed said distributors have not provided them with bottled soybean oil from companies like Teer, Rupchanda, Fresh, Pushti, Bashundhara, and others.
Bottled soybean oil was not available in most of the shops in various markets and neighbourhoods of the capital on Friday.বিস্তারিত
