Islamabad Market Committee Releases Updated Chicken and Vegetables Price List for February 14, 2025

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Market Committee has released an updated price list for vegetables, fruits, and other essential food items, effective Friday, February 14, 2025. The list reflects the current market rates as of today.

The revised list features everyday kitchen essentials such as tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, and ginger.

In comparison to last month, prices for tomatoes, cabbage, and cauliflower have seen a significant decline, providing much-needed relief to consumers. Furthermore, carrots, potatoes, and ginger are now being sold at more affordable prices, alleviating financial pressure on households.

The price list is updated daily to ensure transparency and fair pricing. Consumers are advised to review the official rates before purchasing to avoid overpaying. Any cases of overcharging or irregularities should be reported to the relevant authorities for prompt action.

At Islamabad’s fruit and vegetable market (Sabzi Mandi), produce from across Pakistan is available for sale. Along with supplies from various cities in Punjab, fruits and vegetables from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are also brought here. Farmers from remote areas of Balochistan and Sindh send their goods to the capital for sale. Seasonal produce from Gilgit-Baltistan, as well as items from neighboring countries like Iran and Afghanistan, can also be found. Shopkeepers in Islamabad frequently visit the market to purchase goods, while numerous vendors from surrounding areas come to buy in bulk.

Local residents prefer shopping at the fruit and vegetable market over local markets or sectors due to the availability of fresh produce at reasonable prices. The administration issues a daily price list to maintain consistent and fair pricing across the city.
