Prices of onion, potato on rise
The prices of onion and potato witnessed a sharp rise in the city markets in the last week.
Onion price increased by Tk 5-10 a kg while the price of potato rose by Tk 4 per kg.
Local variety of onions was sold yesterday for Tk 42-48 a kg while the price of the imported ones went up to Tk 32-36 from Tk 25-30 in the capital's retail markets.
Onion wholesalers in the city's Karwan Bazar said the fall in supply of Indian variety of onion recently resulted in the sudden hike in the prices of both local and Indian variety of onions.
Potato was sold yesterday for Tk 18-20 a kg, which was sold for Tk 14-16 per kg a week ago.
