Wholesale (mandi) prices: Punjab AMIS

The daily price at the wholesale market, before it reaches the shop. The Punjab government's Agriculture Marketing Information Service (AMIS), run by the Directorate of Agriculture (Economics & Marketing), reports prices from Punjab's mandis (plus a few markets elsewhere, such as Karachi and Quetta) every day. For each commodity, market and day it gives:

Prices are rupees per 100 kg unless the commodity's unit says otherwise (bananas are per dozen).

#Why it matters

• A daily pulse. CPI is monthly and the SPI is weekly. Mandi prices move every day, and they lead retail prices by days to weeks.
• Market-level detail. Compare Lahore's onion price with Multan's, or follow a commodity across every market in Punjab.
• Wholesale vs retail. Set the wholesale FQP against the SPI retail prices for the same city to see the margin.

#Notes

• AMIS publishes a market's prices during the evening. We re-read the last few days, so late entries and corrections are picked up.
• A dash on AMIS (no trade that day) is simply absent here; it is never stored as zero.
• Prices before October 2026 come from AMIS's price-trend reports, which carry the fair-quality price only. That's why min and max are empty for older dates.
