Local Market Notes for Quetta
Poultry retail in Quetta is centred on the markets around Liaquat Bazaar, Kandahari Bazaar, and the commercial areas of Jinnah Road, along with neighbourhood shops across the city. Local broiler farming in Balochistan is limited by water scarcity and harsh winters, so a large share of birds arrives from Punjab and Sindh after journeys of several hundred kilometres. Transport cost, fuel prices, and winter road conditions all feed directly into the Quetta retail rate.
