Phal (Fruit)·پھل

Roman Urdu: Phal / Phul

Phal means the seasonal fruit traded in a fruit (phal) mandi — mango (aam), kinnow and orange (kinnu/maalta), banana (kela), apple (saib), dates (khajoor), and melons. Pakistani fruit runs on tight seasonal cycles: mango May–August (Multan, Mirpurkhas), kinnow December–March (Sargodha, Bhalwal), apple September–November (Quetta, Gilgit), dates June–September (Khairpur, Sukkur). Phal is sold by peti or per-dozen, graded A/B/C, and off-season stock often moves through cold storage.

Frequently asked: Phal (Fruit)

What are the main fruit seasons in Pakistan?+
Mango peaks May–August, kinnow and citrus December–March, apple September–November, and dates June–September. Bananas trade nearly year-round from Sindh. Each fruit's mandi gets busiest during its harvest window, when daam is lowest and arrivals are heaviest.
How is fruit graded and priced in the mandi?+
By grade — A/B/C — based on size, colour, ripeness and damage. Grade A mango or kinnow fetches the top daam; B and C sell cheaper for juice or local sale. Lots are quoted per peti or per dozen, not per maund like grain.
Why is cold storage important for phal traders?+
Fruit perishes within days at room temperature, so apple, kinnow and dates are held in cold storage to sell off-season at a higher daam. The trader weighs storage rent per peti per month against the expected off-season price gain before committing stock.
