Wholesalers attribute the drop in prices to a reduced demand for the product. Prices of local produces crossed Tk 250 at the end of last week while the prices of imported onions exceeded Tk 200. On Monday, wholesalers at Old Dhaka's Shyambazar were selling local variety of onions between Tk 150 and Tk 160 a kg. Onions from Myanmar were being sold for Tk 150 a kg while partially rotten stocks were selling for Tk 80. Prices of onions at the wholesale market in Chattogram's Khatunganj also dropped by around Tk 100 per kg.
