Banks suggested keeping minimum margins on the import value of Ramadan items
The import of soyabean oil, chickpeas, dates, palm oil, pulses, and yellow peas, items that are in high demand during the fasting month of Ramadan, are on the up, according to a paper by the Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission (BTTC) obtained from the commerce ministry.
The price of the most-consumed items during Ramadan such as chickpeas, dried peas and dates has increased in the wholesale markets in Dhaka and Chattogram due to a supply shortage, two months before the fasting month begins.
Prices of some essentials whose consumption goes up during Ramadan are on the rise already despite adequate supply, much to the worries of the consumers.
