The government on Sunday allowed five companies to import five crore more eggs to keep the price stable in the market.
A media release signed by Md Haider Ali, public relations officer of the Ministry of Commerce, said each firm will be able to import one crore eggs.
The companies are Union Venture Limited, JFJ Paradise Connection, Layek Enterprise, M/S Lucky Enterprise and M/S Pinky Traders.
However, the release didn’t mention the names of the countries from where the eggs will be imported.
On August 23, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi announced that the government would allow importing eggs if needed.
As the price of eggs has soared abnormally the members of the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection are conducting drives in different wholesale markets in the city and realising fines, he said.
