Factors Influencing Dried Fruit Prices in Bangladesh

One of the most common issues that - I can address is the continuous fluctuation in price in the dried fruit market. A primary challenge facing the dried fruit market is the persistent price volatility, often driven by fluctuations in the dollar-taka exchange rate.

 

Below, we highlighted some of the key factors.

 

Import Costs

Bangladesh imports a significant portion of dried fruit from foreign countries. In 2022, dried fruit was Bangladesh's 509th most imported product, and the total import cost was around $9.53M (Source). Importing a product from a foreign country usually has various costs, like tariffs, shipping costs, import duty, transport, etc. 

A retailer or manufacturer considers the overall costs and fixes a final price. If the overall cost is higher, typically, the product’s price will increase. Besides these, fluctuations in international prices directly impact local prices. 

 

Seasonal Demand

Dried fruits are always a demanding food item in Bangladesh but the demand goes high during feasible season. Especially during Ramadan, dried fruits are in extra demand in the Bangladeshi market. As a result, the supply of dried fruits became lower, and retailers asked for a higher price from consumers. 

 

Quality and Variety

There are many brands of dried fruits available in Bangladesh. Some of them offer original imported products from foraging countries. Some other brands import some dried fruits from other countries and mix them with locally dried fruits. This is why the price of mixed dry fruits in Bangladesh is quite low.  

Also, some brands did not maintain a quality standard for their dried fruit products. They use cheap local fruits. The packing and storing materials they use are also of poor quality. This allows them to keep their products at a lower rate. 

 

Local Production and Availability

Bangladesh doesn’t produce large quantities of dried fruits. Some authorized brands produce dried fruits with items like dried mango or jackfruit. This offers more affordable options to the consumers without compromising quality. You can check out those brands on our website or by just clicking on the product name presented in the above chart. 

 

Quantity

If you buy dried fruit in higher quantities, it will cost you less than a smaller quantity. For example: a 200g dried fruit jar price is around tk. 350 to tk. 400, besides the 1 kg dried fruit price in Bangladesh is a maximum of 1500 BDT. Thus the purchasing quantity will influence your purchase price. 

 

Market Competition 

As we previously discussed, many brands in Bangladesh sell or manufacture dried fruits. To stand out in the competition, a brand tries to ask for a lower rate from their customers. Some brands also offer a discounted rate, which lowers the overall price of the product. 

 

Economic Factors and Inflation

Bangladesh’s economic condition can also affect the price of dried fruits. Rising production costs, labor expenses, and inflation can be responsible for a higher retail price. 

 

Conclusion

Dried fruit prices in Bangladesh are still reasonable. However, influential factors can increase prices. So you can order fresh and a variety of dried fruits from our website at a very reasonable and discounted rate.
