Peshawar market powers Pakistan’s Eid al-Adha barbecue and butchering trade

As Eid al-Adha celebrations continue across Pakistan, markets are overflowing with sacrificial knives, cleavers, skewers, grills and charcoal.

 

In northwestern city of Peshawar, the historic Reti Bazaar has emerged as a major hub for Eid tools and barbecue supplies, with some wholesalers selling up to two tons of skewers daily to meet nationwide demand during one of Pakistan’s busiest seasonal economies.
