Traders attributed the situation to scanty supply in wholesale markets. Presently one kg of green chilli is being sold at Tk 150 to Tk 200 in retail outlets although it was sold for Tk 80 to Tk 90 before.
Mokles, a large wholesaler of Rangpur city bazar claimed the prices of chilli soared up due to the inadequate supply. Incessant rain during last couple of weeks seriously hampered production of chilli, causing a drastic fall in supply in wholesale markets which caused price hike of chilli.
However, Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) sources said, the recent rainfall did not cause much damage to chilli and so there is no logical reason for its soaring price. A section of dishonest traders might have increased its prices in order to earn more profit, sources added.
