Bangladesh hikes bottled soybean oil prices by Tk 4 a litre

The Bangladeshi government has readjusted the prices of soybean oil, increasing the cost of widely used bottled products from Tk 163 to Tk 167 per litre. However, the price of unpacked soybean oil has been cut by Tk 2 to Tk 147 per litre. The price of palm super oil has been set at Tk 135 per litre. The new rates will take effect immediately, but the state minister acknowledged that it may take 15-20 days for the reduced prices to be reflected in the market. (photo/bdnews24)
