As a result, onion price has almost doubled in the retail market. It is now up-to Tk 80 per kg in several Dhaka markets.

Benapole Customs Clearing and Forwarding Agent Association official Moshiur Rhman said the Indian government suddenly raised the price of per ton of onions to Tk 650 from Tk 450 on Aug 18 without any prior notice.

“Import through the Benapole port was remained closed on that day,” he added.

He said new consignments of onions were available on Monday with a new price tag. “But again it did not come on Tuesday,” he added.

The port official sees the move by Indian government as a strategy to prevent price hike of onion in their country.

the reporter changed zthe currency unit from dollar to taka. so actually its 650$ /1000kg => 0.65$/kg~40rs /kg. thats the whole sale price. add to it 30-40% commision of the seller and u get the same price as in indian market.

Fcking hoarders.

They are creating this artificial scarcity.

The last time this happened in NDA rule in the late 90s, Sushma Swaraj had threatened to unleash security forces on onion godowns, and force open them.

I hope they are punished severely this time as well.
