Bangladesh has a surplus of animals for sacrifice during Eid-ul-Azha, so there is no reason for the traders to charge customers higher than usual, Fisheries and Livestock Minister Abdur Rahman has said. The traders will ultimately suffer with their cattle unsold if they keep the asking price high, the minister said at a press conference at the Secretariat on Thursday. He claimed Bangladesh has 13 million cattle ready for sacrifice during Eid against a demand for 10.7 million. How can I fix the price?”However, speaking about egg prices, Rahman said he would sit with the poultry farmers to determine the price. The farmers cite a high cost of imported poultry feed for the egg price rise, but it is “unjustifiable”, according to him.
