Pricey eggs

Eggs are selling at more than Tk 4 each; and the farm chickens are more pricey, although the economy is flooded with dairy and poultry farms. The production of eggs and chicks have boomeranged.

It is the marketing bug--the distribution system (starting with the cottages in the villages) is poor, and controlled by minority manipulators. Public shopping centres have been tried before, but the government cannot run its own show, not to speak of minding others' eggs and poultry.

I skip the morning breakfast egg frequently, and omelette are more economical than single fried. We don't know how to egg on the sarkar. Poor voting ability. Cannot read the signs.
