- Reduce manual labor and farming costs
- Support small and medium farmers
- Modernize Punjab’s agriculture sector
According to the government, while 20,000 tractors were distributed in the past 25 years, 31,000 tractors have been provided in just the last two years, setting a new record.

How Many Tractors Will Be Given in Phase III?
Under Phase III:
- 10,000 tractors will be distributed
- Tractor power range: 50 to 65 horsepower
- Priority given to small farmers
Officials shared that Punjab currently has only 140 tractors per 10,000 acres, which is very low compared to international standards. This scheme aims to bridge that gap.

Modern tractors help in faster ploughing, sowing, and harvesting.
✔ Reduced Labor Costs
Mechanization lowers dependence on manual labor.
✔ Time Efficiency
Farming operations can be completed on time, improving seasonal yield.
✔ Economic Support
Small and medium farmers get financial relief as tractor prices have doubled in the past five years.
How to Apply for the Green Tractor Program?
Although Phase III applications have already been submitted, here is the general application process followed by the government:
Step 1: Online Registration
Farmers apply through the official Punjab government agriculture portal (when announced).
Step 2: Submit Required Documents
- CNIC copy
- Land ownership documents
- Contact details
Step 3: Verification Process
Government departments verify land and applicant data.
Step 4: Balloting (Qurandazi)
If applications exceed available tractors, computerized balloting is conducted.
Step 5: Announcement of Successful Applicants
Selected farmers are informed via SMS or official announcement.
During the recent launch, CM Maryam Nawaz personally called selected farmers to congratulate them — including a farmer from Bahawalpur whose name was drawn in the balloting.
How Are Farmers Selected?
Because demand is much higher than supply, selection is done through transparent computerized balloting to ensure fairness.
This system ensures:
- Equal opportunity
- No political favoritism
- Transparent selection process
Why This Scheme Matters in 2026
Agriculture remains the backbone of Punjab’s economy. Rising input costs, expensive machinery, and inflation have made farming difficult for small landholders.
By providing 10,000 modern tractors in Phase III, the government expects:
- Higher wheat, rice, and cotton yields
- Improved rural income
- Stronger agricultural exports
- Long-term food security
