Bengalis love Food. Their favorite for lunch is Hot rice with cooked fish. However, if Hilsa fish is not on the lunch menu, the meal seems incomplete. That is why middle-class Bengalis are keeping a close eye on the price of Hilsa in the market.
Currently, the price of Hilsa in the market ranges from 1600 to 2000 rupees per kilogram. Food lovers are flocking to the markets to enjoy the delicious taste of Hilsa. But due to supply shortage, the prices are high. Experts suspect that the price might increase even more.
However, Durga Puja is just around the corner. People will indulge in joy during this grand Bengali festival. During puja, the feast is also an essential part of the celebration. At the Puja season, food enthusiasts often lean toward buying Hilsa fish. Hence, fish sellers are already stocking up on Hilsa to control the demand during the festival and supply it at the right price.
According to experts, although Hilsa prices are currently high, if the supply remains steady during the Puja, the price might come within a more affordable range. Food lovers are counting the days in anticipation of that hope.
