Peti (Crate / Box)·پیٹی

Roman Urdu: Peti / Petee

A peti is the wooden or plastic crate used to pack and trade fruit and vegetables in the mandi — the fruit/veg equivalent of bardana (gunny bag) for grain. A peti holds a standard quantity (e.g. a mango peti is roughly 8–10 kg, a tomato peti 20–25 kg), and lots are auctioned and counted by number of peti rather than weighed bag-by-bag. The crate is usually returnable, so its count and return are tracked like packaging, and an empty-peti rate may be charged.

Example usage

Example: Peti (Crate / Box) is recorded in the daily mandi khata so party balances and settlement details remain clear.

Frequently asked: Peti (Crate / Box)

What is the difference between peti and bardana?+
Bardana is the gunny/jute sack used for grain; peti is the wooden or plastic crate used for fruit and vegetables. Grain is weighed by bag and bardana weight is deducted as kaat; fruit/veg is counted by peti at a standard fill, and the crate is usually returned.
Is the empty peti charged to the buyer?+
It depends on mandi custom. Often the peti is returnable and the buyer brings it back next visit, or pays a per-peti deposit. Wooden crates may be charged once; reusable plastic crates are tracked by count so missing peti can be billed.
How many kg is a standard fruit peti?+
It varies by fruit and mandi. A mango peti is commonly 8–10 kg, a kinnow peti around 10 kg, and a tomato peti 20–25 kg. Because fill weight is standardised per crop, the lot can be valued by peti count × daam without weighing every crate.
