Market ManagementContinuous rain and floods unsettled Dhaka's kitchen markets in July 2026: a Jagonews24 survey published on 24 July found most vegetables, fish, eggs, onions and green chillies Tk 20 to Tk 200 a kilogram dearer within a week, with green chillies at Tk 280 to Tk 300.
CropsOn 26 November 2025 a 2 kg 75 g hilsa caught in the Meghna was sold at open auction for Tk 8,200 at Tulatuli fish landing in Bhola Sadar. Traders said it was the first fish that size at the landing since the October fishing ban ended.
AgribusinessOn 14 April 2025, big hilsa in Dhaka markets cost nearly Tk 1,000 a kg less than the day before, yet 1kg fish still sold at Tk 2,400 to Tk 2,800 a kg as festival demand met thin supply.
The century-old Padua Bazar fish market at the junction of two highways in Cumilla sells about 100 tonnes of fish worth more than Tk 2.5 crore a day, according to traders.
