Major producers in Bangladesh colluded with each other to send the price of eggs to an unprecedented level in the middle of August, hurting the pockets of consumers already struggling to make ends meet, according to a probe report.
The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) has demanded punitive measures against anyone found manipulating prices in the domestic egg market.
The price of chicken eggs has risen substantially over the past week, piling even more pressure on general consumers who are already facing tough times due to the growing cost of living in Bangladesh.
