CM Punjab High-Tech Mechanization Mesa-Cob Harvesters Program 2025 – Check Now
Introduction: CM Punjab Launches Mesa-Cob Harvesters to Revolutionize Corn Harvesting
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has officially inaugurated the CM Punjab High-Tech Mechanization Mesa-Cob Harvesters Program 2025, a pioneering step to modernize corn harvesting across Punjab.
Under this program, the Punjab Government aims to introduce advanced corn-harvesting machinery (Mesa-Cob Harvesters) to farmers at subsidized prices. The initiative falls under the Punjab Agriculture Department Subsidy Scheme 2025, which focuses on mechanizing critical stages of crop production to improve efficiency, reduce post-harvest losses, and ensure sustainable growth.
The program targets Punjab’s major maize-growing districts — including Sahiwal, Pakpattan, Kasur, Okara, and Faisalabad — providing both subsidies and bank-financing facilities to small and medium landholders.
Officials described this scheme as a “transformational leap” in Punjab’s agricultural policy, combining technology, financial access, and environmental sustainability.
🏛️ Punjab Agriculture Department Subsidy Scheme 2025 – Empowering Corn Farmers
The Punjab Agriculture Department Subsidy Scheme 2025 serves as the backbone of this new mechanization initiative. The department has announced massive subsidies to promote the adoption of Mesa-Cob Harvesters, ensuring small farmers can shift from manual labor to mechanical harvesting.
According to department sources, farmers can now avail up to 60% subsidy on the purchase of Mesa-Cob Harvesters through a transparent, digital process managed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).
Under this program:
- Farmers registered with the Kisan Card system will receive priority access.
- Subsidies will be disbursed directly into farmer accounts, ensuring full transparency.
- Machinery will be distributed through approved vendors meeting Punjab’s quality and safety standards.
Agriculture experts estimate that mechanical corn harvesting can increase productivity by 25% and reduce post-harvest grain losses by nearly 40% compared to traditional manual methods.
This initiative supports Punjab’s broader agenda of achieving food security, climate resilience, and export-quality grain production.

🚜 Farm Mechanization Bank Financing Program – Easy Access to Modern Harvesters
To ensure financial inclusion, the CM Punjab High-Tech Mechanization Mesa-Cob Harvesters Program 2025 is integrated with the Farm Mechanization Bank Financing Program, providing farmers with low-interest and flexible bank loans to purchase high-tech harvesters.
Under this financing model, farmers can choose to purchase Mesa-Cob Harvesters, Multi-Crop Planters, Rotavators, or Super Seeders with the support of participating banks such as Bank of Punjab, ZTBL, and Khushhali Microfinance Bank.
Key Features of the Financing Scheme:
- Financing up to 80% of total machine cost.
- Subsidized mark-up rates with partial coverage by the provincial government.
- Digital loan application and status tracking via PITB portal.
- Repayment period up to 5 years.
According to senior officials, this mechanism removes one of the biggest hurdles for small farmers — the high upfront cost of machinery. The Punjab Government’s goal is to enable even a 5-acre farmer to own or co-share high-tech harvesters through easy loans.
This financing plan follows the successful implementation of earlier initiatives like the Rice Combine Harvesters and Straw Balers Programs, ensuring consistent support for all crop categories.
🌾 Mesa-Cob Harvester Subsidy Punjab – Transforming the Maize Harvest
The Mesa-Cob Harvester Subsidy Punjab has been designed to address long-standing challenges in corn harvesting. Traditionally, farmers rely on manual labor or outdated reapers, which cause grain losses, slow harvesting, and increase overall costs.
Modern Mesa-Cob Harvesters introduced under this program can simultaneously perform cutting, threshing, and cob collection — reducing harvest time from several days to just a few hours.
Salient Features of the Subsidy Program:
- Subsidy up to 60% for registered farmers under the Kisan Card system.
- Machine demonstration events in maize-growing districts before sowing season.
- On-field operator training provided by Agriculture Engineering Wing experts.
- Eco-friendly technology that minimizes fuel use and crop residue waste.
The Agriculture Department’s spokesperson highlighted that these harvesters can process up to 2.5 acres per hour, significantly cutting costs for farmers and promoting sustainable residue management by eliminating the need for open-field burning.
This program will also create local employment opportunities through machinery service centers and repair workshops in every major maize-growing district.
🧑🌾 Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025 – Driving Digital Agriculture in Punjab
The Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025 serves as the overarching digital framework for all mechanization programs in Punjab. It ensures paperless registration, subsidy allocation, and monitoring through a central online platform.
Through this digital system, farmers can:
- Register for the Mesa-Cob Harvesters Program 2025 using CNIC or Kisan Card.
- Track the status of their application online.
- Receive SMS notifications for approval, payment, and delivery updates.
- Access machine manuals and operator tutorials digitally.
The PITB and the Agriculture Department have worked together to ensure complete transparency, reducing delays and ensuring that benefits reach genuine farmers only.
According to CM Maryam Nawaz’s vision, the digital system is part of Punjab’s Smart Agriculture 2030 Plan, which integrates AI, IoT, and smart devices in farming operations for precision, transparency, and sustainability.

💬 CM Maryam Nawaz’s Address: “Farmers Are the Backbone of Punjab’s Economy”
During the official launch ceremony held in Sahiwal, CM Maryam Nawaz stated:
“Punjab’s prosperity is tied to the progress of our farmers. We are mechanizing agriculture not only to increase production but also to protect our environment and empower our rural communities.”
She emphasized that modern harvesters will save time, protect yields, and reduce pollution, setting Punjab on a sustainable path toward smart and competitive agriculture.
The Chief Minister also announced plans to include more advanced machinery — such as Silage Harvesters, Smart Sprayers, and Drone-Based Crop Monitors — in future phases of the Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025.

📊 Impact on Agriculture and Environment
According to the Punjab Agriculture Research Board (PARB), the introduction of Mesa-Cob Harvesters could:
- Increase corn yield by up to 20%.
- Reduce harvest losses by 35–40%.
- Save 40% labor cost and 30% fuel cost.
- Reduce carbon emissions by minimizing stubble burning.
Experts believe this program will also help Punjab expand its maize export potential, as machine-harvested grain retains better quality and cleanliness, suitable for international markets.
The government’s strategy also aligns with Punjab’s Climate Resilient Agriculture Framework 2025, making farming more productive and environmentally responsible.
