The prices of locally grown fruits in Bangladesh have increased by at least 30-40% due to a decrease in imported fruits, import duties, currency depreciation, and a 100% margin on letters of credit. As a result, local fruits such as mango, banana, pineapple, papaya, guava, and green coconut are becoming more expensive.

Other fruits like pineapple, coconut, banana, bell, and lemon are also affected by the price hike.
