However, the National Directorate of Consumer Rights Protection could not find any solution to control the situation in the sugar market even after launching a market raid last Saturday. The campaign of the organization found the truth of the sugar crisis in the market.

In such a situation, Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) has decided to sell sugar at an affordable price. In a press release on Sunday night, TCB said that it will sell sugar at the rate of Tk 55 per kg in important and populated places of the capital on Monday. This activity will start from one o'clock. Sale of sugar at affordable prices will continue till further orders.

Apart from TCB family card holders, ordinary people can buy this TCB sugar at the rate of Tk 55. A buyer cannot buy more than one kg of sugar. However, the press release did not inform that TCB sugar will be sold in some areas on Monday.

Earlier this month, the government fixed the price of open sugar at Tk 90 per kg. But this price is not effective. Even at the beginning of last week, the price of sugar was a little above Tk 95 per kg. Last Thursday, open sugar prices rose above Tk 100.

Speaking to wholesale and retail sugar traders, consumers and related persons last Saturday, it is known that open sugar is now being sold at Tk 105 to Tk 110 per kg in the market.
