What Is the Green Tractor Scheme in Pakistan?

The Green Tractor Scheme (also called CM Green Tractor Scheme) is an initiative by the Government of Punjab aimed at supporting farmers with mechan-equipment, specifically tractors, at subsidised rates. The scheme was introduced to address high machinery costs, outdated manual farming methods and low productivity in the agricultural sector. By providing modern, efficient tractors, the government intends to increase the mechanisation of farming, reduce labour costs and improve yields.

Under this scheme, selected farmers get access to tractors of approved horsepower ranges (for example 50-65 HP or 75-125 HP) through a transparent balloting process and online registration portal. The scheme supports local tractor manufacturers such as Millat Tractors and Al‑Ghazi (which sells models like Massey Ferguson, New Holland) thereby promoting domestic industry.
