Inflation force families to cut eggs, milk from children's diets!
Poet Bharatchandra Ray Gunakor wrote in the middle ages, "May my child thrive on milk and rice." This deep desire of parents for their children's well-being has persisted through the ages, wishing for their offspring to have sufficient good food to eat. For many parents in Bangladesh, this is a profound sorrow; often, they cannot provide nutritious food for their children. In middle-class families, there was once a time when a little allowance for eggs and milk for the children was common. Even lower-income families would strive to offer their children a bit of rice with milk whenever possible. It is not uncommon to find mothers in Bangladesh who fry one egg to share among three or four children.
Factors behind rising vegetable costs in Kartik
The month of Kartik is upon us, a time often associated with crisis in rural Bengal. In the northern regions of the country, this period is referred to as "Monga kal," or the season of famine. During this time, agricultural activities decrease, leading to a reduction in the earnings of farm laborers. The Aman rice is in its growing stage, and there is less variety of other crops available. The supply of summer vegetables significantly diminishes, hitting rock bottom. Seasonal vegetables begin to appear only towards the end of Kartik, with their supply increasing in late Hemanta, or early Agrahayan.
