The people are heaving a sigh of relief as the price of onion has fallen with the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) offering the item at Tk 23 per kg through e-commerce companies.
Consumers can now buy as much onion as they want instead of 3 kg per person from online shops. They can be bought for Tk 23 a kg, down from Tk 36.
Eighteen e-commerce companies are selling onion in Dhaka, Chattogram, Tangail, Rajshahi and Sirjganj.
Apart from selling onion, the government trading arm will introduce the sale of more products online.
Prices of the popular kitchen item went through the roof after India banned onion export on September 14 this year, prompting Bangladesh to import it from various countries to meet the demand.
