CM Punjab Launches High-Tech Mechanization Rice Combine Harvesters Program 2025
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has officially launched the High-Tech Mechanization Rice Combine Harvesters Program 2025, a landmark initiative aimed at transforming Punjab’s agriculture sector through advanced machinery and digital financing.
Under this program, farmers will gain access to modern Rice Combine Harvesters through a structured Farm Mechanization Bank Financing Program, designed to make cutting-edge technology affordable and widely available. The Punjab Agriculture Department has allocated billions of rupees to this effort, emphasizing transparency, efficiency, and direct farmer benefit.
💰 Punjab Agriculture Department Subsidy Scheme 2025
The Punjab Agriculture Department Subsidy Scheme 2025 represents the government’s long-term commitment to empowering small and medium-scale farmers.
Under the direction of CM Maryam Nawaz, the Agriculture Department will provide billions of rupees in financial support for the purchase of Rice Combine Harvesters and other high-tech machinery. This initiative forms part of the broader “Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025”, through which farmers can access interest-free or low-interest loans for the acquisition of advanced agricultural tools.
Officials confirmed that this is one of the largest farm mechanization subsidy programs in Punjab’s history, targeting small landholders who struggle to afford modern machinery. The scheme ensures that every eligible farmer has a fair chance to participate through a transparent, digitally monitored process.

🚜 Key Objective – Promoting Mechanization and Efficiency
Agriculture experts note that the High-Tech Mechanization Rice Combine Harvesters Program 2025 is more than just a subsidy—it is an economic reform aimed at reducing post-harvest losses and increasing productivity.
Rice farmers in Punjab face major challenges during the harvesting season, including high labor costs and grain loss. The introduction of modern combine harvesters under this scheme will:
- Improve harvest quality and speed
- Reduce dependency on manual labor
- Minimize crop wastage
- Increase profit margins for farmers
By promoting mechanization, Punjab takes another step toward becoming Pakistan’s leading province in agricultural innovation.
🏦 Farm Mechanization Bank Financing Program – Easy Loans for Farmers
A crucial component of the initiative is the Farm Mechanization Bank Financing Program, launched in collaboration with leading commercial and agricultural banks.
Through this financing mechanism, farmers can apply for loans on subsidized interest rates to purchase Rice Combine Harvesters, tractors, rotavators, super seeders, and laser land levelers.
Key Features of the Financing Program:
- Bank Partnerships: Multiple Punjab-based banks (including Bank of Punjab) participate to ensure wide coverage.
- Low Interest Rates: Interest subsidy offered under the Punjab Agriculture Department Subsidy Scheme 2025.
- Easy Installments: Flexible payment options so small farmers can own machinery without financial burden.
- Digital Verification: All applications processed through an online portal managed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).
This approach ensures complete transparency—no middlemen, no delays—only direct access to finance and machines.
🌾 Rice Combine Harvester Subsidy Punjab – Modernizing the Harvest Process
Under the Rice Combine Harvester Subsidy Punjab, the government offers a direct financial assistance package to farmers purchasing new harvesters.
Highlights of the Subsidy Scheme:
- Up to 60 % subsidy on locally assembled Rice Combine Harvesters.
- Priority for registered farmers under the Kisan Card system.
- Model harvester demonstrations in rice-producing districts such as Hafizabad, Sheikhupura, Narowal, Okara, and Gujranwala.
- On-site training for operators to ensure efficient use and maintenance of the machines.
These combine harvesters can cut and thresh paddy in a single pass, saving both time and fuel costs while maintaining high grain quality.
🧑🌾 Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025 – Empowering Farmers
The Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025 is the umbrella initiative under which multiple subsidy and loan programs operate to equip farmers with cutting-edge tools.
CM Maryam Nawaz emphasized that Punjab’s progress depends on its farmers. Through schemes like this, the government aims to:
- Replace old manual harvesting methods with mechanized systems.
- Encourage young farmers to adopt agriculture as a profitable profession.
- Increase exports by improving rice yield and quality.
Under the Kisan High-Tech Machinery Scheme 2025, each district’s Agriculture Department office will monitor implementation and support farmers through local training and technical assistance.
