The Sargodha market
Sargodha is Punjab’s citrus capital. The kinnow grown around the city is shipped across Pakistan and exported abroad, and the fruit trade sets the rhythm of the local market through the winter harvest.
Beyond citrus, the city is a large agricultural and livestock hub. Fruit, grain, dairy and farm supplies all move through wholesale markets here, usually in bulk rather than in small retail quantities.
For buyers, that means the best prices come with a need to check grade and weight carefully. Ask how the produce was graded and confirm the weight before it is packed.
What to check before you buy in Sargodha
These are the questions that come up most often in complaints from Sargodha buyers.
Check the grade of the fruit
Kinnow is sorted into grades for size and quality. Ask which grade you are buying and compare a sample from the crate you will actually receive, not the display layer.
Confirm the weight of a crate
Fruit crates are often sold by rough weight. Ask to weigh the crate on the shop scale and confirm the net weight before you pay, especially for large orders.
Agree transport for bulk produce
For wholesale quantities, fix who arranges the vehicle and whether loading is included. Transport is where a cheap quoted price can quietly become expensive.
