Adhati (Commission Agent)·آڑھتی
Roman Urdu: Aarhti / Aadhati / Arhti
An adhati is a commission agent in a Pakistani mandi who acts as the middleman between a farmer (seller) and a beopari (buyer). The adhati earns a percentage commission — called arhat — on every lot they facilitate. The role combines selling, weighing, receivables collection, and dispute resolution at the mandi gate. Punjab alone has roughly 233 notified mandis (Punjab Agriculture Policy 2018) and the adhati is the central operator in each.
