Given the instability in the date market, the government has fixed the prices of the iftar essential.

The Ministry of Commerce issued a circular in this regard on Tuesday (12 March).

According to the circular signed by Fuara Khatun, senior assistant secretary of the ministry, very common or low-quality dates can be sold at Tk 150-160 per kg and widely used Zaidi dates will be sold at Tk 170-180 per kg.

 The prices per kg of dates have been set by analysing the import price of different quality dates in the country, the imposed duties and taxes and other costs incurred by the importers, the ministry said.
