The government on Sunday opened up the local market to import of eggs and one-day-old chicks to increase supply in an attempt to make them cheaper.
The Ministry of Commerce issued a circular saying importers will not need to secure the ministry's permission to buy eggs or chicks from abroad.
The move aims to meet growing consumer demand and rein in abnormal price hikes, the circular said.
It said eggs of hens, ducks and other birds can be imported without any restrictions until further notice.
At present, a dozen of eggs of hens and ducks is sold at Tk 120 in the local market.
On June 9, the government had decided to open up the local market until Jun 30 to import of eggs and chicks to meet up the growing demand during the Ramadan. The time was further extended to Aug 31.
