Onion crisis
'Onion hoarders will be punished'
The director general of the Directorate of National Consumers Right Protection says
1.7 tonnes of onion found in shop with ‘No onion’ sign
DNCRP fined four traders in Chattogram Tk 40,000
Why the government can’t control commodity prices
For any major crop, there are local and national profiteers, who make plans to maximise profits way before the crops land in the markets.
Delayed cultivation a concern for onion farmers
The cultivation of a variety of onion, known as Kondo in Bangladesh, has been delayed due to excessive rain early this month, when farmers plant seedlings of the crop before harvesting it in early winter
Onion prices rising again
The wholesale price of onion is again increasing in Bangladesh as farmers are quickly running out of stock due to an inadequate supply of the local variety, according to traders and growers.
Decision on onion import to come in 2-3 days
Agriculture minister says
Onion crisis created artificially: MPs to JS
Senior treasury and opposition bench lawmakers strongly criticise government for their failure to check the skyrocketed price of onion.
