Kacha vs Pakka Arhti·کچا اور پکا آڑھتی
Roman Urdu: Kacha vs Pakka Arhti
Two distinct adhati models in Pakistani mandis. A kacha arhti only brokers the sale and earns arhat commission — no inventory risk. A pakka arhti also buys lots on their own account and resells, taking inventory risk for a larger margin. Most Pakistani mandi operations are kacha; pakka adhatis are more common in cotton, dates and dry-fruit verticals.
