Bangladesh has also moved to import essential items and build reserves before Ramadan starts late in April, when higher demand for those items traditionally pushes up prices.

The south Asian country largely depends on imported sugar to meet its annual demand of 1.4 million tonnes. Private refiners import raw sugar mostly from Brazil.
