Potatoes and onions have become more costlier in Dhaka, but traders say the costs of the root vegetables are expected to go down as new harvests have begun hitting the markets.
The traders said the wholesale prices which went up due to a shortage of supply, are impacting the retail prices.
“Stocks of onions and potatoes are finishing by the end of the season. But the prices will go down with the growing supply of new produces,” said Md Shahjahan, a trader at Karwan Bazar.
The traders at the market were selling new onions at Tk 250 per 5 kg and old ones at Tk 320 per 5 kg.
