Local Market, Hat, Bazaar in Brahmanpara upazila under Cumilla district is full of seasonal fruits. Though there is dissatisfaction among the buyers about the prices. The seasonal change and turning has come in the nature. After a year, the Bangla month Joishtho which is the symbol of Mango, Jackfruit, Litchi and other seasonal fruits has come once again.
The summer season is also called month of honey in the country. At this time, various types of summer fruits can be seen all over the country. Like every year, various fruit markets of Brahmanpara upazila of Comilla district are flooded with summer seasonal fruits.
However, even though it is seasonal, the price of these fruits is also quite high. So there is dissatisfaction among the buyers about the prices. Fruit sellers are also admitting that prices are high. They said, this time we have to buy fruits from the wholesale market at a slightly higher price than last year. Due to which it is having an impact on the retail market.
In the Brahmanpara Sadar area, almost every market has summer seasonal fruit ceremonies. These fruits include litchi, jackfruit, mango, palm oil, pineapple etc. Besides, fruits like bel, melons and watermelons are also seen in the markets as the season is coming to an end. The aroma of these fruits is spreading in every market.
Among the summer seasonal fruits, litchi is currently at the top of the buyers' demand in the market. Besides, many people in the neighborhood are selling seasonal fruits in vans. Fruits are being sold at slightly lower prices from the markets in the mobile shops of the van. Sahebabad area, one of the fruit markets of the upazila, it is seen that the sellers are busy selling seasonal fruits. They are placing seasonal fruits in front of the main store, calling out to shoppers and trying to attract them.
Litchi is being sold more in the market. Besides, different varieties of mangoes including Himsagar and Lengra are also found in the fruit shops. However, even though litchi is fully mature, mango has just started coming to the market. Traders expect that most of the fruit market will be occupied by sweet and juicy mangoes soon.
At present the litchi is the most sold
item in the market. Depending on the type, 100 litchis are being sold at BDT 250
to 300. This time the price is a bit higher than last time. But still buyers
are buying litchi the most. Each store is selling more litchi than other
fruits.
Besides, mangoes include Himsagar,
Nakla and Langra. Himsagar is being sold at TK 80-90, Nakla at TK 70-80 and
Lengra at TK 80-90.
Pineapples are being sold at TK 80-100
per hali / 4 pieces.
Taler Shash is being sold at TK 20 per
piece.
The jackfruit is very expensive. Each
piece is being sold for TK 200-250.
Watermelons are being sold for TK 300
to 500 per piece.
However, sellers say that prices will continue to fall as soon as more fruit arrives in the market. They said that the sales of mangoes had not yet picked up. However, litchi is now in full season. So the litchi business is booming. Besides, there are still watermelons in the market at the end of the season. Mango sales will freeze from next week.
A buyer who came to buy seasonal fruits, said, "I bought 100 litchis for TK 300." Although there are plenty of seasonal fruits in the market, the prices are high. So many family members will not able to eat these seasonal fruits even if they want to. The administration should monitor the market regularly. So that all classes of buyers can buy these seasonal fruits.
Besides, visiting different markets of
the upazila, one can see various types of fruits. In this market, hilly
jackfruits and pineapples from the border areas of India are sold in large
quantities. Border traders are selling seasonal fruits like jackfruit,
pineapple and banana on bicycles. In this regard, the general buyers said that
if the administration does a little monitoring, people of all walks of life
will be able to eat seasonal fruits at this time of the year.
