Islamabad Market Committee Releases Updated Chicken, Fruit and Vegetable Prices for 12 Feb 2025

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Market Committee has released an updated price list for vegetables, fruits, and other essential food items, effective Wednesday, February 12, 2025. The list reflects the latest market rates as of Wednesday (12-02-2025).

The revised list includes everyday kitchen staples such as tomatoes, onions, potatoes, garlic, and ginger.

Compared to last month, prices for tomatoes, cabbage, and cauliflower have seen a significant decline, with tomato prices dropping further today, providing much-needed relief to consumers. Additionally, carrots, potatoes, and ginger are now available at more affordable rates, helping to ease the financial burden on households.

The price list is updated daily to ensure transparency and fair pricing. Consumers are advised to check the official rates before making purchases to avoid overpaying. Any instances 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 all regions of 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 in the market. Shopkeepers in Islamabad regularly visit the market to purchase goods, while numerous vendors from surrounding areas come to buy items in bulk.

Local residents prefer shopping at the fruit and vegetable market over local markets or sectors, as fresh produce is available at reasonable prices. The administration releases a daily price list to ensure fair pricing across the city.
