When does the daily trading volume for brown eggs peak in Punjab's wholesale mandis, and how should farmers time their dispatches?

Punjab's wholesale egg trade is highly structured, with major bidding and distribution occurring in the early morning hours. In major mandis like Sheranwala Gate (Lahore) and Faisalabad, trading volumes peak sharply between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, when regional distributors and retail brokers gather to purchase stock. To secure the daily benchmark price, farmers located in rural production hubs (such as Sahiwal, Kamalia, and Pattoki) must load and dispatch their egg delivery trucks by 10:00 PM the night before. This overnight transport also protects the eggs from heat and vibration damage. Late arrivals after 8:00 AM face reduced demand and lower prices. Logistics planning guides can be found in the Poultry Encyclopedia, egg crates and plastic transport pallets are sold on Poultry Plaza, live mandi rates are updated daily on Poultry Rates, and forward supply contracts are executed on Murghi Mandi.
