LAHORE – The prices of cooking oil and ghee have risen sharply once again in Pakistan, adding further financial strain on citizens who were hoping to see the promised benefits of the much-discussed macroeconomic stability.
Repots said the prices of both A-brand and B-brand have increased due to demand and supply issue.
Companies attribute the increase to a growing gap between supply and demand, coupled with reduced imports, which has led to a rise in prices.
Retailers have stated that the price hike has occurred within the last 15 to 20 days.

According to reports, the price of A-brand cooking oil and ghee has gone up from Rs550 per liter to Rs590. Similarly, B-brand cooking oil has increased from Rs450 to Rs500 per liter, while B-brand ghee has risen from Rs450 to Rs 480 per kilogram.
Chicken Prices
Meanwhile, the prices of broiler chicken meat remain high, making it increasingly unaffordable for lower-income households.
The price of broiler chicken has been set at Rs569 per kilogram, while live chicken farm rates have been fixed at Rs 365 per kilogram.
Wholesale prices are currently at Rs379 per kilogram, and retail prices are being sold at Rs393 per kilogram.
In some areas, the price of pure chicken meat has reached Rs 670 per kilogram.
The persistent rise in the prices of essential commodities like cooking oil, ghee, and chicken continues to strain consumers, particularly those from low-income groups.
