RE: [ALOCHONA] Food Prices: No downturn for 6 another months

Dear Alochoks

This is our main issue but we can't do anything like indians, who
can protest against any sort of irregularities, but we the
bangladeshis don't step forward against this type of proble.
When CTG talked with the businessman before ramadan, they assured
that the price of comodites will not increase during ramadan but
they can't assure and tell anything regarding the price of
commodities(Oil, Onion, etc)after the ramadan, my question is why
they can't tell the actual and trend analysis of price hike, the
price hike in the world market is not like a rocket booming.It
icreases in a stairs. So why they(the businessman) are not caught
handed as a syndicate member.
If Sugar can sell at 26-27 Tk. per kg,and our sugar mill is full
of sugar without marketing these, but why this white /imported
sugar is now mixed with Hydros and how, why it was raised before,
is the issue to raise the price of sugar which is now sold at
32Tk. per kg.
Few days ago British high commissioner told that foreign
investment is hindered by the Govt Officers. Now the time for the
CTG to heed on this, who actually control the country.

Thanks
Rahid
