Understanding the Three Rates
The farm rate is the price at which poultry farms sell live broiler birds to wholesalers and dealers. It is announced each morning through official rate lists and it is usually the same or very close across a zone. The retail rate is what a customer pays per kilogram for a live bird at a poultry shop. It sits above the farm rate because it includes transport, shop costs, and weight loss during handling. The chicken meat rate is the price per kilogram of cleaned and cut chicken. It is the highest of the three because roughly one and a half kilograms of live bird produce about one kilogram of meat after slaughtering and cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are the rates on this site updated?
Rates are updated once every morning after the official broiler rate lists are issued and local markets open. The exact date and time of the last update is displayed beside every rate board on this site.
Why is the chicken rate different in every city?
Rates differ because of transport distance from production zones, local demand, fuel costs, and the margins of local shops. Cities far from major poultry farming belts, such as Quetta, usually have higher retail rates than cities inside the production belt, such as Faisalabad or Sahiwal.
Why does my local shop charge a slightly different price?
The rates published here are reference figures based on official rate lists and market surveys. Individual shops may charge slightly more or less depending on their location, the size of the birds, and how fresh the stock is. A difference of ten to twenty rupees per kilogram between shops in the same city is normal.
What makes chicken prices rise suddenly?
The most common causes are higher poultry feed prices, fuel and transport cost increases, hot weather that raises bird mortality, disease outbreaks that reduce supply, and demand spikes during Ramadan, Eid, and the wedding season.
