Background: Why the Scheme Matters
Punjab contributes over 70% of Pakistan’s total agricultural output, but farmers often face crushing financial burdens. Rising fuel prices, expensive machinery, and limited access to loans make it nearly impossible for small farmers to compete.
Phase 1 of the Green Tractor Scheme, launched in 2024, distributed thousands of tractors with subsidies. Due to its overwhelming success and farmer demand, the government has now expanded the program with Phase 2 in 2025.
This phase is bigger, better, and more inclusive. It doubles the number of tractors and increases subsidies, especially for small landowners.
Purpose of CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase 2
The scheme is designed to:
- Support small farmers by making tractors affordable.
- Promote mechanized farming for higher efficiency.
- Reduce manual labor costs and dependency on outdated methods.
- Boost crop production and ensure food security.
- Introduce eco-friendly and fuel-efficient tractors.
- Empower rural youth with modern agricultural tools.
In short, the goal is not just distributing tractors but revolutionizing Punjab’s farming sector.
Benefits of the Scheme
The CM Green Tractor Scheme Phase 2 has far-reaching benefits:
1. Financial Relief
With up to 70% subsidy, small farmers can finally own a tractor without drowning in debt.
2. Increased Productivity
Modern tractors help farmers plow, sow, and harvest faster, leading to higher yields.
3. Employment Generation
More tractors mean more job opportunities in rural areas for operators and mechanics.
4. Time Saving
Mechanized farming reduces the time required for agricultural tasks by over 50%.
5. Eco-Friendly Farming
Phase 2 focuses on green, fuel-efficient tractors that reduce pollution and save energy.
6. Women Inclusion
Special quotas ensure that female farmers and widows can also benefit.
Eligibility Criteria
To ensure fairness, the government has set clear eligibility rules:
- Applicants must be a resident of Punjab.
- Must hold a valid CNIC.
- Must own agricultural land (small or medium scale).
- Must provide proof of farming activity.
- Priority given to small landholders, women, and young farmers.
How to Apply for CM Green Tractor Scheme Phase 2

Farmers can also apply through designated bank branches partnered with the government.
Subsidy and Financial Support
The government has allocated billions of rupees to make Phase 2 bigger than Phase 1.
- Small Farmers (up to 5 acres) → 70% subsidy
- Medium Farmers (5–12 acres) → 50% subsidy
- Large Farmers (above 12 acres) → Lower subsidy, but still eligible
This ensures that the most deserving farmers get maximum support.
Real-Life Example
Take the case of Ali, a 27-year-old farmer from Faisalabad. He struggled for years with rented equipment, spending most of his income on labor and machinery rent. After getting a tractor in Phase 1 with 50% subsidy, Ali’s crop yield increased by 35% in one season.
Now, with Phase 2, thousands more farmers like Ali will see their dreams turn into reality.
CM Maryam Nawaz: The Driving Force
The visionary leadership of CM Maryam Nawaz has been central to this scheme. Known for her focus on youth and women empowerment, she has pledged to modernize Punjab’s agriculture.
