Volatility in onion market

Prices of onions have been volatile in Dhaka for quite some days. Although this is not the season of onion harvest, traders have stocks of local and imported varieties. They blame the differences between demand and supply for the volatility. Prices of garlic have also increased after Eid-ul-Fitr, with local produces selling at lower prices than those of imported varieties. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
