A survey of neighborhood markets across Rampura, Hajipara, Malibagh, Segunbagicha, and Moghbazar on Friday (October 2, 2026) revealed that packaged sugar, officially price-capped at Tk 110 per kilogram, is routinely selling for Tk 120/kg. Similarly, one-liter bottled soybean oil is being sold at Tk 210, exceeding its printed MRP of Tk 204. Grocers cited reduced delivery allocations and slim profit commissions from distributors, which have led some shopkeepers to unpackage branded sugar to sell as loose inventory or withhold oil stock from unfamiliar buyers. While corporate chain supermarkets continue to stock items at regulated prices, neighborhood retail markets report persistent supply friction as distributors lobby the Ministry of Commerce and the Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission for further price upward adjustments. Additionally, farm eggs remain elevated at Tk 155 to Tk 160 per dozen in primary markets and up to Tk 165 in residential grocers, though broiler chicken prices held relatively stable at Tk 180 to Tk 190 per kilogram.
