The arrival of early winter vegetables in Dhaka’s kitchen markets has boosted supply and triggered a noticeable drop in retail prices across the capital. A market survey conducted on Friday, November 13, 2026, across Agargaon and neighboring markets revealed relief for shoppers not only in seasonal produce, but also in broiler chicken and farm eggs.
According to market observations, cauliflower is selling at BDT 40–50 per piece, down from BDT 60–70 last week. New potatoes dropped by BDT 30 to BDT 120 per kg (old potatoes remain at BDT 20–25/kg), green chilies fell by BDT 40 to BDT 60–80 per kg, and tomatoes are trading at BDT 120–130 per kg. Vegetable vendors Imran and Mintu Sheikh noted that shipments from agricultural districts have picked up over the past week and are expected to expand further in the coming days, pushing prices down even more.
