Mobile courts of Rapid Action Battalion are conducting drives at different markets of in Dhaka today amid unusual price hike of eggs

Major producers in Bangladesh colluded with each other to send the price of eggs to an unprecedented level in the middle of August, hurting the pockets of consumers already struggling to make ends meet, according to a probe report.  

The price of chicken eggs has risen substantially over the past week, piling even more pressure on general consumers who are already facing tough times due to the growing cost of living in Bangladesh.

The prices of rice, edible oil, beef, sugar, egg and onion have risen more in Bangladesh than that of the international markets, affecting the poor people who are already suffering from erosion of purchasing capacity for pandemic caused income losses, said the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) today.

Prices of eggs, one of the main sources of protein, have been rising for the last couple of weeks.
