[image: lead photo]LONDON, 25 May 2011 (IRIN) - Banu Bibi's shopping basket
is becoming emptier. When she goes shopping in Dhaka, Bangladesh, she spends

(US$1.80), she could afford lentils and laundry soap, and the family's
favourite fish. This year she has to spend 185 taka ($2.50) just for the
basics: more rice to make up for the lack of other food, and cheaper
vegetables.
