KHULNA, April 7: The prices of most spices at Khulna citys kitchen markets remain stable compared to last couple of days ahead of the holy Eid-ul-Fitr.

Due to an increase in imports, the price of cumin in the retail market has decreased significantly by Tk 400-500 per kg. Two months ago cumin sold at Tk 1200 per kg. Now it sells at Tk 600-700 per kilogram, said Abul Hashem, a retail and wholesaler of Abul Hashem Store at Khulna BoroBazar.

Cardamom, cinnamon cumin, prune, mace, nutmeg, cashew nuts, peanuts, and raisin, sell at marginal profit, he said.

"Its good for us that most prices are steady. We make marginal profits when the price increases because people buy less," he added.

While talking to OBSERVER, Mohammad Kamal, owner of Vai Vai Store at Boro Bazar kitchen market, said, Garlic (China) and Garlic (local) sell at Taka 220-240 and Taka 80-100 which sold at over Taka 250 and Taka 150 earlier respectively.

Ginger sells at Taka 240-250 per kilogram (KG) against 280, Kamal said.

Cardamom (Elachi) and cinnamon (Daruchini) sell at Tk 3000-3200 and Tk 500-700 per kg respectively. Clove (lobongo) sells at Taka 1600-1800. Cashew nuts at Taka 1600-1700, peanuts at Taka 350-400 and raisin at Taka 700-800, he added.

The most common commodities for Eid Day, local cucumber and tomatoes sell at Taka 50-60 and Taka 20-25 respectively which were sold at Taka 120-140 and Taka 40-50 at the beginning of the Ramadan, said Abdur Rahman, a retail seller of Rupsha Sondha Bazar.  

City dwellers get relief as onions now sell at Taka 45-50 per kg which sold at Taka 100 to Taka 120 per kg at the beginning of last month, he said adding that green chili is selling at Tk 60-70 per kg against Tk 120.
