Retail vs. Wholesale Relevance of 1 KG Pricing

Understanding the difference between consumer and bulk pricing

🛒 Retail Markets

Chicken is sold strictly by kilogram in retail markets, and price per kg is the standard unit of measure. For consumers, especially in urban households and restaurants, 1 kg pricing offers clarity when budgeting meat purchases.

Standard Unit: Per KG

📦 Wholesale Markets

Wholesale buyers, such as meat suppliers and caterers, often buy in bulk (40–60 kg) but still calculate the total cost per kg for consistency. Wholesale rates are typically more economical for large quantity purchases.

Rs. 20-30 Lower per KG
🏙️ City Examples: 1 KG Chicken Rate Comparison
City 1 KG Broiler Rate Market Type Price Variation Note
📍 Lahore Rs. 560 Retail & Wholesale Central Punjab supply hub
