Balochistan vs. National Market Trends

Balochistan’s market is unique because it often imports a large portion of its poultry from Sindh (specifically Karachi) and Punjab. This means that transportation costs play a major role in your local price.

Key Market Takeaways:

  • Transportation Impact: Cities connected to main highways (like Uthal or Nasirabad) often have lower rates than “deep” rural areas.
  • Quetta Profitability: Quetta remains one of the highest-profit districts for egg production in Pakistan due to high local demand.
  • Stakeholder Profits: In Balochistan, commission agents typically earn 41% of the supernormal profit, while retailers make about 24%.

FAQs

Why is chicken sometimes more expensive in Balochistan?

Because Balochistan gets much of its poultry from Sindh and Punjab, the price you pay includes the cost of long-distance travel. If petrol prices go up, the price of chicken in cities like Quetta and Gwadar usually follows.

Which cities have the best prices?

Cities located near main highways, like Uthal or Nasirabad, often have slightly lower rates because it’s easier and cheaper to transport birds there. Deep rural areas tend to be more expensive due to the extra travel required.

Why do egg prices matter so much in Quetta?

Quetta has a very high demand for eggs, making it one of the most profitable places for egg production in Pakistan. This high demand can cause egg prices to stay firm or rise during peak seasons.

What causes the prices to change daily?

The main reasons are the cost of chicken feed (like soy and maize), changes in fuel prices for transport, and the weather. For example, extreme heat in Sibi or cold in Quetta can affect the health of the birds and the overall supply.

How are the profits split between sellers?

In the Balochistan market, the biggest share of profit typically goes to the commission agents (about 41%), while the local retailers who sell to you usually make around 24% profit.
