Abstract
It is found that such kind of work regarding the market monitoring performance of
Dhaka South City Corporation is not found. The main objective of this research is
to identify what is customers perception & experience while doing shopping in
DSCC kitchen market with a view to looking the conformity with world standard
monitoring system and seeking the areas DSCC market monitoring standing
committee should concentrate on. In case of literary review CABs consumers
right perspective, city corporation act will be taken into account to analyze
collected data. All data will be collected from both primary and secondary source
includes books, journals, internet etc. Market monitoring system was measured
with some sort of independent variables e.g. public awareness, price chart
existence, punishment extent, frequency of monitoring etc. To extract information
from respondent less structured questionnaire was used. The result of this work
shows that CMA & ARB models are not operational in DSCC at large extent. Most
of the market regulatory activities are conveyed by other entities like TCB &
district magistrate. So this paper has given quick snapshot illustrating factors for
a sound market monitoring system.

Acknowledge
In some cases acknowledgement may mean degrading it when it goes to some
beloved one.
Yes, this is Dr. Salah Uddin Animuzzaman whose guidance and instruction made
this paper a success. Thanksgiving to all my group members (Group 09) is
inevitable for their sincerity to completion of this work.
Lets me give recognition to those respondents who assist me providing their
valued information and spending valuable time.
Chapter 01
Consumers are
being constantly affected by such problems. A large portion of citizens are not
sufficiently aware of prices and purity of daily-used products. Government has an
agenda of Right to Information Act for making the citizens update on any issues.
On the other hand City Corporations are supposed to deliver basic urban services
to the city dwellers. And they are entitled to perform some essential and
emergency actions within its boundary. Of various actions Dhaka South City
Corporation (DSCC) is prescribed to monitor and supervise the kitchen markets
7
within its jurisdiction to ensure peoples right to know any relevant information.
Now the standing committee of DSCC for Bazaar monitoring is bestowed with 78
bazaars to monitor over within its jurisprudence (www.dscc.org.bd, accessed on
30/10/2014)) By the way, effective and meaningful monitoring system has
become imperative for operation of kitchen markets in the transparent way.
Without
proper

monitoring
system,
irregularities
and
kitchen market and application of existing rules, regulations on this market are
utmost necessary. In case of Dhaka city, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC)
must play the most significant role in case of kitchen market monitoring system.
DSCC along with other concerned market monitoring authorities (TCB, CAB, NGOs,
BSTI, and CBA) should monitor the kitchen market on a regular basis. If they
monitor every kitchen market and emphasis on proper implication of laws, and
legal procedures, it will be helpful for the common people to buy different items in
a reasonable price. Concerned authority must focus on proper display of different
food items charts according to the price fixed by DSCC. It is helpful for people
because they need not to bargain with the sellers to reduce the price. On the
other hand sellers dont get high price compare to actual price. Another positive
impact of Bazaar monitoring system is it ensures the proper quality of vegetables,
fish, meat and other items. When DSCC and its concerned officials monitor market
in a regular basis, sellers become alert to ensure the quality of different
vegetables, fish, meat and other items. They become frightened to use chemical
such as formalin. Formalin and other toxic chemical are so much harmful for
human body and it causes cancer. Only proper market monitoring system can
save time, money, energy of buyers and bitter experience of bargaining between
buyers and sellers. So, proper Bazaar monitoring system (Kitchen market) by
DSCC is really helpful for common people. Therefore DSCC should focus on proper
Bazaar monitoring system to ensure quality and quantity of different food items
and to meet the proper public demand.
1.4 Objectives
The aim of the study was to conduct a survey on the Bazaar monitoring system of
DSCC, which is categorized into four main objectives. They are as follows:
To find out what factors enforce the frequency of Bazaar monitoring
To find out the factors that discourages customers and sellers not to follow
the imposed price.
To develop a new mechanism or model for proper bazaar monitoring.
9
To see the real picture of kitchen market regarding imposed price of daily
essential commodities.
1.5 Research Questions
1. What is the current scenario of Bazaar Monitoring in Dhaka South City
Corporation?
2. How much essential and effective it is to monitor Bazaar by Dhaka
south City Corporation?
1.6 Hypothesis
It is assumed that Bazaar monitoring system (specially focus on kitchen market)
will not be effective in most of the time of the year. It will be effective while
different print and electronic media will publish different articles and journals
about this system and its different loopholes. When news and information of
media will become so much alluring and that time common people will be
concerned about its efficiency. Sometimes it will be effective at the time of holy
Ramadan for proper government intervention.
1.7 Limitation
Since the study had urgency
cant covers all the aspects of Bazaar monitoring. Even findings may not reflect
the type of market such shopping market. As it is a sensitive case and that is why
sellers might hide information that may slightly affect the findings.
We have
limitations of time, knowledge, resource capability and so on. As our final exam is
knocking at the door, we have not gotten enough time to conduct our research in
a most effective way. On the other hand sellers may not be so much interested to
give proper information. Consumers may not have enough idea about Bazaar
monitoring system and they will not be able to give correct and accurate
information for this research. Sometimes consumers have been too busy to give
answer of any question. After all we have tried our best to conduct our research in
a most effective and efficient way.

qualitative in nature. A stratified sampling method will be followed for conducting
this research. We will take response from different age group within 20 to 60 years
old.
To reach the objectives, data will be collected from both primary and
secondary sources.
3.3 Data Collection Instrument:
Primary sources of data will be questionnaire, interview and discussion with
respondents. A structured questionnaire with both open and close ended
17
questions will be used in this survey. We will also observe the markets and
respondent attitudes (sellers) to validate the study. Secondary sources of data will
be books, internet, journals, DSCCs acts, DSCCs annual reports and reports of
different research organizations concerned with Bazaar monitoring.

Overview on Dhaka south city corporation bazaar monitoring & related
authorities
4.1 Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) is the self-governing corporation
the incorporated area is divided into several wards. Each ward has an elected
ward commissioner. The mayor of the city is elected by popular vote every five
years, although the last mayoral election took place in 2002. The Corporation was
created by the Local Government (City Corporation) Amendment Bill 2011 on
November 29, 2011, passed in the Parliament of Bangladesh, and formally ceased
to exist on December 1, 2011, following the President's approval, making way for
a North and South city corporation. (Wikipedia)
According to the existing law, the executive power of the Corporation vests in and
exercised by the Mayor/Administrator. The Corporation constitutes Several
Standing Committees and other Committees to monitor and guide the diversified

situated at DSCC. The social service department of DSCC is also responsible for
working as watchdog in DSCC market. Currently 78 markets are under its
jurisdiction. This is the administrative wing of DSCC. So, officers and bureaucrats
are to be involved in overseeing market. (Dhakasouthcity.gov.bd)

unloading, sorting, grading, market fees, commission, etc. In the case of the profit of the
middlemen, beginning from the sale of the produce from the farmers till it reaches the
consumers, different actors like , Faria, Bepari, commission agent, wholesalers, retailers,
and so on handle produce and they earn profit by adopting this profession. Their profit is
included in the price of the commodity and it also becomes a part of the market margins
(Chhina 2009). Producers share is an important indicator of market efficiency. Higher
marketing costs indicate less efficient market but it is not always true. Marketing cost
depends on various factors. According to Chhina (2009), it can be concluded that low
marketing cost expressed as a percentage of the consumers price is not an indicator of high
efficient market and similarly the marketing cost expressed as a percentage of the consumers
price is always not an indicator of low efficiency market system. The percentage share of the
price of farm products in India is higher than the percentage of price in the developed
countries of Europe and America. It cannot be concluded that the Indian markets are more
efficient than that of developed countries. There can be higher marketing cost in a developed
economy (Chhina 2009). The cost of marketing of a particular commodity is influenced by
different factors such as quantity of the product, perishability, bulkiness, risk involved,
facilities in the market, grading, storage, transportation, regular or irregular supply,
advertisement, processing, packaging, retail or wholesale, degree of market information and
competition in the market. There are some important points to be considered to reduce
marketing cost which include improvement of management, better handling of products,
increase in the volume of business, reduction in market charges, creating the conditions for
perfect competition, reduction of risk, practice of grading, and provision for market
information (Chhina 2009).
In terms of marketing margins in vegetables trade, Roy (1992) reported that Faria was the
most beneficiary group among the traders. In contrast, Sabur (1992) reported that the profit
margin was the highest for Aratdar (93%) followed by Faria (79%), Paiker (75%),
Bepari (33%) and retailers (20%). However, the marketing costs were higher for Bepari
followed by retailers, Paiker, Faria, and Aratdar. This is quite common that some people
look at prices paid to farmers and compare them with the prices consumers pay for the same
23
product. They accuse traders who are exploiting the farmers because the retail price paid by
consumers is higher than the price received by farmers.
According to a CPD report, 6 different marketing chains for brinjal and chili were identified.
The major components of the consumers expenditure for brinjal and chili were attributable
to the production cost which ranged from 41-43% of the retail value. The market
intermediaries received about 60% equivalent value of the retail price. Among the
intermediaries the retailers received the highest share (24-28% of the retail value). However,
the author explained the reasons for the higher margin of the retailers. Vegetables are
perishable, and hence the retailers add premium to the prices to offset the risk of spoilage.
Secondly, the consumers generally choose and pick better quality products, and remaining
products become gradually inferior in quality and ultimately sold at lower prices. Often, a
portion of the products are not sold. That is why, the retailers tend to add premium to
compensate the perceived losses (CPD 2007). Nevertheless, the unusual and very high
addition of premium by the retailers cannot be ruled out.
Studying marketing margins is very important for several reasons such as to study marketing
efficiency, compare different markets, improve marketing system, study the role of the
middlemen, and implement different Government policies. Role of middlemen is an
important aspect in influencing the marketing costs and margins. If the results of marketing
margins of the different middlemen indicate that there are certain unreasonable charges, and
inefficiency in the services of the middlemen, those can be improved accordingly. Another
important aspect of marketing margin analyses is the implementation of Government policy.
The Government formulates policies with the objective of improving the efficiency of the
marketing. The study of market margins indicates the field to adopt and implement the
appropriate market policy. The required intervention of the Government is also based on the
study of the market margins (Chhina 2009). Barman (2008) investigated the marketing costs
and margins in winter vegetables trade in Dhaka city. He reported that the marketing costs for
supermarket and conventional markets were Tk. 481 and 453 ton, respectively, and the
corresponding net returns were Tk. 11988 and 7511 ton, respectively, and which results
manifested that the margins of supermarkets were higher than that of conventional markets.

and the Bepari do not pay any toll/commission to the market committee.
The following graph shows how vegetables come to DSCC kitchen market through a long process.
Each of the agents tries to maximize its share. Syndicate may be formed at any stage of the following
cycle.
So to control syndicate DSCC has specific role in its jurisdiction at least overseeing irregularities at
city corporation area.

Analysis of Data
5.1 Introduction
The main objective of this study is to find out the level of job satisfaction of the civil servants of
Bangladesh working at Upazila level. The specific objectives are to gauge whether the officials
working at the field level are satisfied with their job and to identify the different facto
rs
impacting job satisfaction. To fulfill the purpose responses from 85 civil servants of different
Batches, Cadres and Designations were surveyed with a structured questionnaire. In the
subsequent sections the survey results will be analyzed. As previous chapter has discussed the
method of study, there were two sections in the questionnaire. First section asked respondents
demographic information and second section asked their perception regarding all five variables
of this study marked in the analytical framework. The researcher has used a 5 point Likert type
scale in the variable subscale designing the questionnaire to get the responses of the civi

13% (n=6) of the sample which is pretty younger age group. Finally the minority
of the respondents (n=5, 11%) fall in age category of 51 to 60. From the above
ensuing result it can be concluded
participating in the study is fairly old enough to be mature and rational ranging
between 41 to 50 (n=25, 56%). They are supposed to be the guardian of

sampling having 11.1% of representation.
5.3 Section b- Analysis so per as explanatory variables
5.3.1 Public awareness
Consumers awareness about DSCC market regulatory system is a basic indicator
for having a market monitoring system on move. As a working market monitoring
system reinforce consumers to know about existing law, rules, and agencies to
complain at. That is why public awareness has been added as explanatory
variables in this research. Beside this ARB model of market monitoring suggests
consumers for complaining to concerned market authority (see ARB model in
theoretical framework). So this model emphasizes on public awareness & expects
consumers will turn into critical mass while noticing any violation of law.
Some related questions have been asked to the respondents in terms of knowing
their awareness level. The findings are bellow.

71%
A total of 71 %( n-32) of the respondents agreed that they know about the
Bazaar monitoring system of DSCC (Dhaka South City Corporation).
On the other hand rest of the respondents 29 %( n-13) have no idea
whether there is a market monitoring system under DSCC.

Price chart is a must for a Bazaar monitoring system. On the basis of which
buyers can bargain with sellers and complain too concerned authority. If price
chart are not there buyers cannot predict price. This is also another indicator of
awareness. If consumers are aware enough they must find out the price chart.
That is why the respondents were asked whether they saw price chart in front of
market/shops while they going kitchen market under DSCC. The findings are as
bellow
51 %( n-23) of the respondents gave positive reply about noticing city
corporation price chart in market.
The other 49% replied negative in the question of seeing DSCC price chart
ever. So the way DSCC operates its bazaar monitoring system was asked mainly
to the latter.

DSCC market regulatory authority is to take necessary step against any sort of
complaints from consumers (under a jurisdiction) regarding selling or keeping
expired product. This is possible only when consumers or buyers will be aware
enough to see expire date of product while buying something from kitchen
market. That is why this issue was included under public awareness (explanatory
variables). The result is as follow
22 males from 35 male respondents replied that they see expire date of products
while buy something. It constitutes 62.85% of male university in this research &
around 45% of cumulative male & female respondents.
7 of the male respondents said they don't see expire date while buy
something. It constitutes 15.5% of the research respondents.
6 male respondents did not answer to this question.
On the other hand,
7 female respondents out of 10 gave positive reply in the question of
seeing expire date. This constitutes 70% of female respondents. So apparently
females are comparative more aware about seeing expire date as compared with
their male counterpart. (63% against 70%)
3 female respondents out of 10 said they don't see expire date.

The information, citizen charter, price chart are important tools that leave
citizens more competition power. That is why bargaining with sellers to follow
price chart was included as measuring tool for public awareness. This was asked
only 23 respondent who confirmed noticing price chart in market. Asking
remaining 22 respondents about price bargaining would be invalid. The result is
as follow.
30.43 %( 7, n-23) gave positive feedback in the question of bargaining to
conform to price chart.
34.6% gave negative feedback in reply.
Remaining 8 respondents had no comment on it.
So, above data showed that most of the respondents are not prone to force
sellers to follow price chart.

female are more aware at seeing expire date than their male counterpart. Even
some male are motivated by their housewives to see expire date. So this
illustrates a very core value of urban women that they are pretty aware in
market related issues.
45
Male are comparatively less aware about seeking voucher from sellers as
compared to seeing expire date. Even female are completely adverse to males
condition. 44% of female at least seek voucher while male are only 20 in
percentage. So that makes the difference between them. So this reveals that
female is more conscious about expenditure, transparency even this may be for
future reference to seller if commodities are found faulty.
It was asked that if sellers dont follow price chart or claim over price whether
you bargain with. Findings suggest that most of them dont bargain. They
showed some reasons for this. They said this is because market price is stable
now with the incensement in purchasing power.
6.5 Frequency of monitoring: got serious attention during Ramadan
As report says Ministry of commerce initiated for forming 14 cumulative
monitoring teams to monitor Dhaka city market. Each team will be headed by an
officer whose status is equivalent to a deputy secretary. There will be a
magistrate, police force, representatives from ministry of food, agriculture &
home affairs. Even representative from DSCC will be there. (Bangladesh Protidin,
14 June, 2013). The above report illustrates that market monitoring activities are
still dominated and conveyed by the ministry of commerce and TCB. The local
government body DSCC invests little attention to it or participated as token
representative. So hoping positive feedback from customers about its monitoring
performance is far cry. What respondents exclaimed & expressed regarding this
issue is more alarming. 55% gave negative feedback in reply of question of
seeing DSCC market monitoring campaign ever while a very least percentage
agreed on this point. Who gave positive feedback they are not gave it
unanimously to favor DSCC. They were confused whether that campaign was
conveyed by DSCC or TCB or led by ministry of commerce. So drawing conclusion
from their opinion is not so easy.
Another important aspect was how many times they saw such campaign or in
other word when this got intensified. Most of the respondents said this campaign
got focused mainly in Ramadan when very few of them mentioned that they
exposed with it seasonally. A little number expressed that it is conveyed in every
46
month. Even some report says that government initiates such campaign before
election time
Another fact is that though price chart is normally updated by DSCC official as
known from a seller who is close to market chart- stand and observed this on
regular basis peoples perception is quite adverse to it. About 82% thought this
price is not updated on regular basis.
6.6 Following price chart ignored in most of the cases
A customer said the price chart set by DSCC was not followed throughout
Ramadan. (Nayadiganta, 1 august, 2014). Some says DSCC price chart is just
kept black and white not executed. Customers agreed moderately in the question
of whether price is followed or not.
6.7 Punishment are not conveyed following due process
Punishment range is 1000 to 50,000. Customers claimed that they saw to set
fine up to 20,000. Even this is not beyond criticism. Some seller said this is not
done as prescribed in law, for example Rahman khan, a seller of new market
kitchen market, said that fine (20,000) was just not exposing individual shop
chart. He thought that was not done following due process.
To impose punishment authority should have adequate resource to identify
expired and formalin mixed commodities. Currently DSCC markets formalin test
is done by fish department, consumers right protection department, BCSIR,
BSTI, public health nutrition institute. On the other hand DSCC has no formalin
test machine to identify formalin in commodities. (POBA, 2013)
The standard of food set by BSTI is also not beyond question. In an interview with
an official of food-court (countrys only food court situatedat DSCC)said the
standard ofwater purification (bottle pack) set by BSTI helps some low quality
companies to survive in market.( 12 february,2014, jugantor)
6.8 Consumers are not so critical mass
Complaining to DSCC standing committee is a process by which market
transference can be ensured beside this the officer of Social Service assigned to
47
consumers and sellers are ignored in terms of informing the agents of operation
or extent of punishment. So, this is kind of one way communication.
6.11 Price- chart itself is not fair: cant predict price of all categorygoods
While interviewing with a seller about the fairness of setting market price by
DSCC a seller said it is not fair. Because this price is normally set at mid-day
while whole day is still left. At the end of the day market price may fall as
equilibrium. Even quality goods may have more value for money. So, in this
sense it can be concluded here that DSCC price chart cant go beyond limitation.
It gives an average price just like a shirt forced to fit all.
6.12 Syndicate is responsible for price/market manipulation?
Report says mainly syndicate works behind the camera. (Dainik Ajkaler Khobor,
29 June, 2014). In most of the cases syndicate established out of intention for
making huge profit and black market.
6.13 Implication for Policy/future study
The research found interesting results regarding the relationship between the e
xtent of public awarness, punishment, monitoring,exposure of price chart
and effectiveness of DSCC market monitoring.
Nevertheless, this research has some inadequacy which should be
taken cognizance. The results of this study should be interpreted with caution du
e to those weak
points. Firstly, only three market under DSCC jurisdiction when other 75 markets
are also under it.

Statistically significant correlation results are indicatives of the impact of

monitoring.
Since no data exists on effectiveness & influence of DSCC bazaar monitoring in
other research,
future in-depth research of this may assist policy formulation and implementation
on all levels to
be aware of the status of effectiveness and allow them to pro-actively put
mechanisms in place
to enhance the effectiveness and ultimatelyimprove service delivery.

Empirical findings of this study suggest that there are inverse relationships

he future research possibilities are immense.
Specially, they can portray a comparative analysis
between campus and industrial area markets.
Additional research is thus needed to further investigate the potential relationshi

Chapter 07
Recommendation & Conclusion
Hereby it can be concluded here that the findings of this research are
helping agent to translate the effectiveness of DSCC bazaar monitoring.
Now here is some recommendation out of the findings. Firstly DSCC is
lacking from its logistic and other equipment scarcity. For example
currently formalin testing machine is missing in DSCC. FBCCI, Department
of national consumers right protection are now conveying this service in
market. So this local government body should be equipped with all
sophisticated equipments. The officers and employees should be well
trained to monitor market and test food adultering, mix of formalin in food.
To steer monitoring activities there is urgency for coordination between law
enforcing agency & DSCC. Such a way monitoring activities can be
intensified. DSCC should not fix a price fit for all commodities rather it
should provide a price range which cover foods and goods from lowest to
highest quality. Monitoring work should be operated at least per week.
Otherwise black market and syndicate may get room to take breath.
Punishment should be executed in public such a way all stakeholders can
be aware in future. The punished shop owner should be informed the law
and reason of his punishment. There is an urgency of permanent bazaar
committee
in
each
market
wherein
consumers
can
fill
complain
