Lemon crosses Tk 100, eggplant hits triple digitsLemon prices have crossed Tk 100 per hali (four pieces) in kitchen markets, while eggplant has reached Tk 100 per kg. Green papaya was selling at Tk 40 per kg, hyacinth beans at Tk 60 per kg, cabbage at Tk 40 per piece, cauliflower at Tk 50 per piece and ginger at Tk 150–160 per kg. While lemons were selling at Tk 100 per hali in kitchen markets, the same quantity was available at Tk 40 per hali on footpaths. Farm red eggs were selling at Tk 40 per hali and white eggs at Tk 35 per hali, compared with Tk 45–50 previously. A few days ago, I bought the same eggs at Tk 50 per hali, Tk 10 more.
