Egg hatching strike, fear of finding

Consumers are not getting eggs at the fixed maximum retail price. But selling at 'higher price' is punishable. Amidst the increase in the price of eggs, this time in Dhaka and Chittagong, the sale of eggs in wholesale has been stopped, which has created a crisis in retail as well.

Wholesale traders say that the Livestock Department has fixed the 'fair price' of eggs, which they cannot buy at the rate they are asked to sell. But for this they are being fined. They think it is better to stop selling than to buy at a high price and sell at a low price. On Monday evening, I went to Tejgaon in Dhaka and found the egg cages closed.

Member of Tejgaon Dim Samiti and leader of Nasir and Brothers. Nasir told More News, "According to the government rate, we have to sell at 11.1 rupees. But we have to buy it from the farm for Rs 12.50.
