The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, along with the Department of Livestock Services and relevant stakeholders, has taken the initiative to ensure a steady supply and stable pricing of essential animal protein products during the holy month of Ramadan.
From the 1st to the 28th of Ramadan, an extensive mobile sales programme is in operation, offering dressed broiler chicken, eggs, pasteurised milk and beef in Dhaka.
Nationwide, the initiative includes the sale of broiler chicken, eggs, pasteurised milk, beef and mutton at affordable prices.
As of March 19, 2025, the mobile sales programme has benefited a total of 609,430 buyers across the country, including 396,586 men and 212,844 women.
The sales totalled Tk 1.98 billion, covering milk, eggs, dressed broiler chicken, beef, and mutton. As a result, the supply and pricing of these essential food items have remained stable across Bangladesh.
Priority has been given to areas where public participation was notably high during the July revolution. Accordingly, 25 mobile sales centres were established in Dhaka from the beginning of Ramadan.
From March 23, 2025, under the budgetary allocation of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, an additional 23 centres will be introduced in Dhaka, three in Narayanganj, and 14 across seven divisional offices.
These centres will enhance the distribution of dressed broiler chicken, eggs, pasteurised milk and beef.
Under this initiative, eggs will be sold (per dozen) at Tk 100, dressed broiler chicken (per kg) at Tk 250, pasteurised milk (per litre) at Tk 80, and beef (per kg) at Tk 650.
