Meat prices increased across Pakistan ahead of Ramazan 2025.
As people welcome the holy month of Ramadan, meat prices across Pakistan have increased, putting an extra burden on consumers.
In Sialkot, the price of chicken meat has surged by PKR 107 per kg, now selling at PKR 700 per kg.
The price of mutton has jumped from PKR 1,800 to PKR 2,700 per kg, while beef prices have risen from PKR 800 to PKR 1,200 per kg.
In Karachi, chicken meat prices continue to rise, with rates exceeding PKR 700 per kg, despite the official price being PKR 650 per kg.
The price of live chicken has also soared to PKR 500 per kg.
Poultry shop owners attribute the rising prices to increased costs from farms, while consumers fear further hikes during Ramadan.
Many predict that if prices remain unchecked, chicken meat could reach PKR 800 per kg during the holy month.
