Quick Summary: How Live Broiler Pricing Works in Pakistan
Live broiler farm-gate rates in Pakistan represent the wholesale clearing price agreed upon by the Pakistan Poultry Association (PPA), regional wholesale mandis (such as Shahpur Kanjra in Lahore, Jaranwala Road in Faisalabad, and Landhi Poultry Zone in Karachi), and local poultry control boards. Live broiler prices fluctuate daily based on Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), commercial day-old chick (DOC) placements 35–40 days prior, seasonal demand shifts, and inter-city bird logistics.
Key Factors Influencing Daily Live Broiler Rates
1. Poultry Feed Ingredients Cost (Corn & SBM)
Poultry feed makes up over 65% to 70% of live broiler production costs. Fluctuations in imported soybean meal (SBM) tariffs, domestic maize/corn harvest rates, and global shipping freight directly impact farm-gate price decisions.
2. Day-Old Chick (DOC) Placement Cycles
When hatcheries increase chick placement 5 to 6 weeks earlier, a sudden influx of market-ready birds leads to supply surpluses, softening farm rates. Conversely, disease outbreaks or mortality spikes reduce available supply, driving prices upward.
3. Weather & Seasonal Heat Stress
During peak summer months (May to July), high temperatures reduce broiler weight gain and increase transit mortality risks, leading farmers to clear flocks early, which creates short-term price volatility.

Today’s live broiler rate in Pakistan averages between Rs. 250 to Rs. 450 per KG across major wholesale mandis including Lahore (Shahpur Kanjra), Karachi (Landhi), Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad.
What is the difference between live broiler rate and retail chicken meat price?
Live broiler rate refers to the wholesale live bird price at the farm gate or mandi. Retail chicken meat price includes live-to-dressed bird dressing weight loss (approx 30%–35%), shopkeeper operational overhead, and retail margins.
What time are daily broiler rates announced in Pakistan?
Official daily broiler rates are determined and notified by the Pakistan Poultry Association (PPA) and local market committees every evening between 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM for the subsequent trading day.
Why do broiler chicken prices fluctuate on a daily basis?
Broiler prices change daily due to supply-demand dynamics, feed ingredient costs (corn and soybean meal), flock age at clearing, weather conditions, and seasonal demand peaks during festivals and wedding seasons.
