Chicken rate today in Karachi
Karachi is the only major city in Pakistan where chicken prices come with an official daily notification: the Commissioner Karachi’s office issues a formal poultry rate list under Sindh’s price-control law, covering farm-gate, wholesale and retail rates for live broiler, chicken meat and eggs. That list is the benchmark — though, as Karachi shoppers know well, what you actually pay at the shop often runs higher.
With more than 20 million mouths to feed, Karachi’s demand never sleeps. The historic Empress Market in Saddar — with its dedicated poultry section — has supplied the city’s chicken for over a century, alongside wholesale trade in Liaquatabad and the famous food street at Burns Road, where karahi, broast and barbecue shops burn through enormous quantities daily.

Official rate vs market price in Karachi
Because Karachi’s supply chain stretches from Sindh’s poultry farms through wholesale mandis to neighbourhood shops, the gap between the official rate and the street price is a daily talking point. Retailers blame transport costs and demand spikes — winter and Ramazan routinely push prices up — while the commissioner’s office urges citizens to report overcharging through its official complaint channels. Our live table below tracks actual market rates; comparing it with the official list before you buy is the smartest move a Karachi shopper can make.
Chicken cuts, desi chicken and eggs in Karachi
Karachi’s cut preferences lean toward broast and karahi cuts, boneless meat for the city’s countless fast-food outlets, and wings for the grill houses of Boat Basin and Burns Road. Desi chicken is widely available in Empress Market’s poultry section for those who prefer traditional taste, and both farm and desi eggs are sold across every major market.
What is the official chicken rate in Karachi today?
The Commissioner Karachi notifies farm-gate, wholesale and retail poultry rates daily. Our table shows live market rates, which can differ from the notified figures — both are worth checking.
