Onion prices have gone up in both wholesale and retail markets in Bangladesh in the span of a week owing to the higher cost of imported varieties of the kitchen staple.

The prices of onion fell by at least Tk 10 to Tk 15 per kilogramme (kg) in Dhaka's retail markets today, a day after the government allowed import of the cooking ingredient from India.

Onion prices witnessed a sharp fall in different parts of Bangladesh yesterday, a day after the government gave the go-ahead to import the vegetable from India.
