A small cooking oil mill at Bata Signal in the Elephant Road area of Dhaka has earned praise from residents of the city for selling pure mustard oil. It produces 250 to 300 litres of oil daily, far less than the demand. Many people in the capital have turned to mustard oil for cooking amid a shortage and price hike of soybean oil.
