Later, the price of domestic onion dropped to Tk 12-13 in the wholesale market. He said none of these onions could buy under 25 kg cheeses. For every year, there is a deficit of 10 kg per penny. As a result, the cost of every kilo has been reduced to 33 rupees. But the price has been sold at one-third of the price.
