The government will sell milk, eggs, beef and dressed broiler meat at subsidised prices during the month of Ramadan to ensure that the general public can easily meet their demand for animal-based protein.
Under this program, dressed broiler meat will be sold at Tk245 per kilogram, pasteurised milk at Tk80 per liter, eggs at Tk8 per piece and beef at Tk650 per kilogram.
A meeting was held at the conference room of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock to determine measures for uninterrupted supply and price stability of meat, eggs, and milk during Ramadan.
Fisheries and Livestock Adviser Farida Akhter chaired the meeting.
After detailed discussions, it was decided that from the day before Ramadan until the 25th day of Ramadan, a total of 26 days, these products will be sold at affordable prices through mobile sales centers.
The meeting also decided that departmental directors and district livestock officers under the Department of Livestock Services will coordinate with district administrations to implement similar initiatives outside Dhaka in other divisional and district towns, taking local market conditions into account.
Initially, the program will be conducted at 25 key locations in Dhaka and city corporation areas, based on public demand.
The proposed locations include Secretariat area (Abdul Gani Road), Khamarbari (Farmgate), 60 Feet Road (Mirpur), Azimpur Maternity Hospital, Naya Bazar (Old Dhaka), Uttara House Building, Rampura Bazar, Hazaribagh, Arambagh (Motijheel), Kalshi (Mirpur), Manik Nagar (Jatrabari), Shahjadpur (Badda), Korail slum (Banani), Kamrangirchar, Khilgaon Rail Crossing (South), Nakhalpara (Lucas Mor), Segunbagicha kitchen market, Mohammadpur (Babar Road), Mohammadpur (Bosila), Kakrail, Banasree, Mirpur-10, Kalyanpur, Tejgaon and Bangabazar in Old Dhaka.
The number of mobile sales centers will be gradually increased by designating permanent spots for sales in coordination with local entrepreneurs and relevant stakeholders.
