What happened
Coconuts are being supplied from Khulna to Lalmonirhat. Across northern districts, the price of coconuts has surged ahead of the Durga Puja festival. A standard pair, which cost Tk 160-180 at the start of September, now sells for Tk 250-300.

Why it matters
The sharp price increase is attributed to peaking demand as the festival approaches. This inflation affects the cost of essential goods for communities in the region, forcing some to purchase fewer items than usual.
