Govt to sell beef at Tk 650, chicken at Tk 250 per kg during Ramadan

The government will sell fish, meat, milk, and eggs at affordable prices across the country – from divisional cities to upazilas – during the holy month of Ramadan.

The initiative will run from the 1st to the 28th of Ramadan, the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock announced in a press release on Monday.

Under the scheme, beef will be sold at Tk 650 per kg, dressed broiler chicken at Tk 250 per kg, pasteurised milk at Tk 80 per litre, and eggs at Tk 114 per dozen, it said.

Mutton will also be available in divisional cities and upazilas, even if it is not sold in Dhaka city, according to the release.

However, the ministry has yet to set a price for mutton and says it will announce the price at a later date.
