A buyer named Ramiz Uddin from Rayerbazar said, "The price of fish is the same as before. We keep track of pangasius and tilapia fish. We can't afford to buy other fish. Pangasius is not even below 200 taka." He also said, "I went to the boiler chicken shop and saw that it is being sold at 185 taka per kg today. How can we eat if it is so expensive?"

Fish trader Mukul said, the price of fish in the market is different in the morning and afternoon. It goes down by 10 to 30 taka. There has been no major change in the price in the fish market for several months. According to him, the price of fish like shrimp, rupchanda, shoal and large-sized rui has always been relatively high. This is because these fish are mainly bought by buyers with higher purchasing power.

Egg trader Masum said that the price of eggs has increased by 10 taka per dozen compared to the previous year. A dozen white broiler eggs are being sold at 125 taka and brown eggs are being sold at 135 taka per dozen. Last week, it was 120 to 125 taka per dozen.
