In Pakistan, 1 maund (man) is 40 kg. That is the number used at grain markets, sugar mills and cane purchase centres today.
Quick table
| Maunds | Kg |
|---|---|
| 1 | 40 |
| 5 | 200 |
| 10 | 400 |
| 25 | 1,000 |
| 50 | 2,000 |
| 100 | 4,000 |
To go the other way, divide by 40: kg ÷ 40 = maunds. So 8,000 kg is 200 maunds, and 1,000 kg (one metric ton) is 25 maunds.
A worked example: a trolley of sugarcane
A loaded trolley weighs 12,000 kg on the kanta. After unloading, the empty trolley weighs 4,000 kg.
- Net cane: 12,000 − 4,000 = 8,000 kg
- In maunds: 8,000 ÷ 40 = 200 maunds
- At Rs 500 a maund: 200 × 500 = Rs 100,000
If the centre deducts Rs 2,000, the farmer gets Rs 98,000.
The older maund
You may still see 37.324 kg in old books and some family records. That was the British-era Indian maund (based on 82.28 pounds). Some traders in a few areas still use their own local figure. If you buy or sell by the maund, agree the number of kg first and write it on the slip.
Doing it on a kanta
Munshi's sugarcane kanta software lets each centre set its own kg per maund (40 by default). The operator enters the loaded and empty weights, and the slip shows the net kg, the maunds, the rate, the deductions and the net payable, so nobody has to work it out on a calculator.
