The corona virus is chasing the whole world. Bangladesh was not spared from the terrible clutches of Corona. The number of victims is increasing day by day, and the death procession is also increasing with the number of victims. Fruits rich in vitamin C help to fight against any virus. That's why many people are now leaning towards vitamin C-rich fruits to get rid of the symptoms of corona virus.
In this situation, the sellers are increasing the prices of these fruits as the demand for vitamin C rich fruits is increasing. The price of some fruits is skyrocketing now. Prices have risen almost two to nine times. The increase in the price of these fruits has also created a mixed reaction.
Vendors say prices have risen several times as the results have outpaced demand. And buyers say that if there is a demand for something in the country, its price is increased in the hope of making more profit without any reason.
Turning to the market, it can be seen that fruits are rich in Vitamin C. At present mango is being sold at 80 to 90 rupees per 100 grams. Similarly, the price of 100 grams of cane fruit (a kind of white small shaped fruit) is being demanded from 90 to 100 rupees. As such, the price per kg is one thousand to 900 rupees. But at other times of the year, the maximum price of 100 grams of mango has been kept at 10 to 20 rupees, the price of cane fruit has been kept at 20 rupees. At present, the price of these fruits has increased eight to nine times. And Arbarai is selling at 60 to 70 rupees per 100 grams, Karamcha is selling at 50 to 60 rupees per 100 grams. Which is 500 to 600 rupees per kg. But these fruits were available in the market at other times (excluding Corona) for 100 to 200 rupees. The price of these fruits has skyrocketed during the Corona period.
40 to 50 rupees per kg, now the price of per kg Latkan is going up to 130 to 150 rupees, jam 150 to 200 rupees. Kamranga is being sold at 120 to 150 rupees per kg, Jamrul at 200 rupees per kg, mango at 200 to 220 rupees and Malta at 200 to 220 rupees per kg.
Lemon has been added to the list of new price increases. Earlier, lemons were available in the market at Rs 6 to Rs 8 per ounce, but now it is being sold at Rs 15. The price of raw mango is 60 rupees per kg.
Buyers and sellers have mixed reactions to the increase in prices of these fruits. The sellers say that the prices are higher as the supply is less than the demand. And buyers say that it has become a habit of traders to increase prices whenever the demand for a product is high. In this regard, a buyer named Lavanya told banglanews, "We don't know how to love the country, we don't know how to love the people of the country." When there is a crisis in the country, the traders cut the pockets of the people by increasing the prices. And it has become a regular practice. If the demand for the product increases in the market, will the price increase, he asked.
A seller by the name of Asif said that very little fruit is coming in the market now. They are in high demand but in short supply. For this reason, they have to buy at high prices in the wholesale market. However, he added that if the supply of these fruits is more, the price will come down.
