Quick answer: Dry fruit prices in Pakistan vary by product, origin, grade, harvest, season, processing, pack size, import costs and supply. Because prices change, a useful buying guide should explain how to compare value rather than publish a static price list that quickly becomes outdated.
Why do dry fruit prices change in Pakistan?
Walnuts, almonds, raisins, figs, pistachios, cashews and dried fruits have different supply chains. Local harvest conditions can influence Pakistani products, while exchange rates and international supply can have a larger impact on imported nuts.
Does origin affect price?
Yes. Region, variety and logistics can influence cost. Foods associated with northern Pakistan may have different harvesting, transport and processing requirements than imported commodity products.
Does processing affect dried fruit prices?
Processing method, sorting, drying, ingredient use and packaging can all influence price. For example, BODF separately lists Dried Apricots Without Sulphur and Dried Apricots with Sulphur, allowing buyers to choose based on processing preference rather than assuming all dried apricots are identical.
How should you compare dry fruit value?
Compare net weight, product type, variety, origin claims, ingredients, processing information, freshness and packaging. A lower sticker price can be misleading if pack sizes differ.

Use the linked product pages for the current BODF price rather than relying on a price quoted in an evergreen guide.
Are imported dry fruits more expensive?
They can be, especially when currency movements, duties, freight and international commodity prices increase costs. But local does not automatically mean cheaper; harvest volume, grade and distribution also matter.
When is the best time to buy?
Prices can shift around harvests and seasonal demand, but there is no guaranteed cheapest month for every product. Compare current prices and buy quantities you can store properly rather than overbuying solely because of a promotion.
