The suggestion comes in response to soaring cooking oil prices

An annoyed Shovon Das was walking home with a five-litre bottle of soybean oil from Shaheb Bazar in Rajshahi city yesterday afternoon. He had paid Tk 985 for it even though the government set the price at Tk 760.

The Bangladesh Vegetable Oil Refiners & Vanaspati Manufacturers Association today said it will take action against the dealers if their involvement is found in creating an edible oil crisis.

The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) will resume selling edible oil at Tk 110 a litre to one crore TCB cardholder families in June, Senior Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh said today.
