WINTER WANT FOR WATERFOWLS
Traders confirm that duck meat consumption increases manifold in winter, so it is no wonder that prices skyrocket against such demand. Amidst the ongoing cold spell, prices of farmed ducks weighing one to two kilogrammes are selling for Tk 300-400 at Karwan Bazar, though at other times they are available at Tk 200-250. Free-ranging ones, for their purportedly healthier diets, are selling for some Tk 500-600, twice their “off-season” price. Their bigger cousins, geese, are not that far behind. Prices of adult birds have jumped from Tk 800-1,000 to Tk 1,400-1,800.
