During visits to wholesale markets in Dhaka and Chittagong, Dhaka Tribune found slight fall in the prices of onion, but the retail prices remained as high as before. The supply of onion improved amid imports from China, Egypt and Myanmar, while government monitoring also helped to offload stocks of local onion into the market.
