With Eid-ul-Azha just over a week away, online sales of sacrificial animals are rapidly snowballing as government agencies and e-commerce platforms have partnered up to lure customers into digital cattle markets amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
These platforms provide the full qurbani service , which involves selling, slaughtering and delivering the cattle selected. This allows customers to avoid the risk of getting infected at the traditional cattle markets, which could turn into super spreaders given the highly contagious nature of Covid-19.
More than 1.05 lakh cattle, worth about Tk 737 crore, have been sold through online purchases since July 2, according to data from the Department of Livestock Services (DSL).

With the digital economy and e-commerce seen as a potent sector for employment and income generation in Bangladesh, the business insiders underscored the need for specific guidelines for doing fair business here.
They said the business has grown immensely thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. But there are a lot of challenges including policy, infrastructure, internet and logistic barriers, fraud sellers and customer mindset in Bangladesh.
The president of the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services Syed Almas Kabir shared that the e-commerce business experienced a significant 166 percent growth in 2020 as consumers moved online for their shopping due to the pandemic.
