Dhaka, March 27 -- Fruit prices in Dhaka have fallen significantly after Ramadan and the Eid holidays, with several imported varieties dropping by more than Tk 100 per kilogram within just a few days, offering some relief to consumers.

A visit to major wholesale and retail markets-including Badamtoli, Karwan Bazar, Rampura, Badda and Shantinagar-on Friday found that prices of most imported fruits have eased notably from their Ramadan peaks.

Malta, which was sold at Tk 350-380 per kg during Ramadan, is now priced at Tk 280-300. Before Ramadan, it ranged between Tk 260 and Tk 280 per kg.

Apple prices have also declined, currently selling at Tk 300-340 per kg depending on the variety, down from Tk 350-400 during the fasting month.

Howeve...
