Pakistan is a large country with many regions, but mutton price in Pakistan has only gone one way over the years—it keeps rising. Unlike chicken or vegetables, which can go up and down, mutton (and beef) prices have climbed steadily. This meat inflation trend means families spend more on mutton each year, making it one of the costliest items in household budgets. If you look at the monthly data on the Inflation Dashboard Pakistan by Gallup Pakistan Digital Analytics, you will see a clear, upward curve with no real dips.

One of the most curious patterns is the Eid ul Azha effect on mutton prices. Every twelve months, just before Eid ul Azha, there is a sharp spike in the cost of mutton as demand soars for sacrificial animals. This Eid ul Azha mutton price spike repeats itself year after year, showing how festivals can drive food inflation Pakistan.

Mutton prices also show regional price variation. In Islamabad, mutton often costs well above the national average, while in Bannu it stays very close to the countrywide rate. This regional price variation tells us where meat is most expensive and where it remains more affordable. Despite Pakistan’s large geography, price differences for many goods are limited. Strong highways, village‑to‑market roads, and a good motorway network help farmers and traders move goods quickly. These roads and market connections have created regional markets, which stabilize prices across provinces and reduce wild swings.

By using real data from Gallup Pakistan Digital Analytics, families, businesses, and policymakers can better understand food inflation Pakistan and plan for the future. Tracking mutton price in Pakistan has never been easier, and these insights can help everyone make smarter choices about meat inflation and regional markets.
