These winter vegetables included eggplants at Tk35-Tk40 per kg, cauliflower at Tk45-Tk50 per piece, papaya at Tk15-Tk20 per kg, and gourds at Tk20-Tk30 each.
Prices ranged from Tk30 to Tk35 per kg for radishes and cucumbers, around Tk30 for a quarter kg of beans, and Tk20 for a set of four lemons.
Other vegetables include snake gourds at Tk40-TK50 per kg, ridge gourds at Tk50-Tk60 per kg, large gourds at Tk40-TK50 each, and eggplants at a higher rate of Tk80-TK90 per kg.
