High prices due to low supply of sacrificial cattle, fewer buyers

With only twelve days left until Eid-ul-Adha, the cattle markets in Bhuyapur, Tangail have yet to gain momentum. A field visit to several markets reveals that trading of sacrificial animals has barely begun. Local traders say that due to reduced imports of cattle, prices are expected to soar this year, potentially putting cows out of reach for many middle-income buyers. Meanwhile, goat sellers also report a significant drop in the number of customers compared to previous years.
