Agricultural Mechanization Policy: Boosting the Manufacturing of Advanced Agricultural Equipment
Punjab’s Chief Minister, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has implemented numerous programs for the benefit of farmers. These include the Kisan Card, Green Tractor Program, Free Tractors and Land Levellers, Tubewell Solarization program, and Livestock Card. However, her latest initiative is a game-changing policy that aims to provide farmers with essential assets. This Agricultural Mechanization Policy will promote local production of agricultural equipment.
وزیر اعلیٰ پنجاب مریم نواز شریف نے کسانوں کی بہتری کے لیے متعدد پروگرام نافذ کیے ہیں۔ ان میں کسان کارڈ، گرین ٹریکٹر پروگرام، مفت ٹریکٹر اور لینڈ لیولرز، ٹیوب ویل سولرائزیشن پروگرام، اور لائیو سٹاک کارڈ شامل ہیں۔ تاہم، اس کا تازہ ترین اقدام کھیل کو بدلنے والی پالیسی ہے جس کا مقصد کسانوں کو ضروری اثاثے فراہم کرنا ہے۔ یہ زرعی میکانائزیشن پالیسی زرعی آلات کی مقامی پیداوار کو فروغ دے گی۔ کسانوں کے لیے اس کاشتکاری کے آلات کے حصول کی لاگت بہت کم ہو جائے گی، جس سے ملک کے فائدہ مند شعبے میں روزگار اور ترقی کے مواقع بڑھیں گے۔ مزید برآں، پاکستان کے مینوفیکچرنگ سیکٹر کو فروغ ملے گا۔ وزیر اعلیٰ نواز شریف کے مطابق ملک مقامی کسانوں کی ضروریات پوری کرنے کے لیے جدید آلات تیار کرے گا۔ اس رینج میں ہل چلانے، کٹائی کرنے اور آبپاشی کے لیے مشینیں شامل ہوں گی۔
The acquisition cost of this farming equipment for the farmers will be greatly decreased, with added employment and growth opportunities in the country’s beneficiation sector. Furthermore, Pakistan’s Manufacturing Sector will experience a boost.
As per Chief Minister Nawaz Sharif, the country will produce modern equipment to fulfill the requirements of local farmers. This range will encompass machines for plowing, harvesting, and irrigation.
Through this program, the crop will be harvested and there will also be a great advantage for the farmers – namely, a decrease in manual labor. This will result in cost savings for the farmers.
China-Pakistan Collaboration for Successful Implementation of Mechanization Policy
Just a heads up, there have been no clear updates on this initiative. However, at the meeting in Lahore on December 27th, the CM Punjab shared some recent news. One of which was that all agricultural equipment-related programs would be executed through partnerships with China.
China is known for its rapid and technologically advanced agricultural sector. It also produces a wide range of modern equipment used in the manufacturing of agricultural goods. As per Pakistan’s agricultural organization policy, all equipment and goods will be developed through collaboration with China.
The agricultural technology from China will significantly aid in Punjab’s machinery production and assist in numerous aspects.
Encouraging Farmers to Diversify and Cultivate Major Crops for Better Yields
Creating a Kisan Bank and offering interest-free loans to farmers serves the purpose of expanding their crop options. With access to modern equipment and assistance, farmers will have the chance to diversify their crops.
According to Maryam Nawaz Sharif, “A boost in Rs.2 million investment can help farmers diversify their crops to include sesame, soybean, and canola”.
The implementation of crop diversification will greatly benefit our nation. It will lead to a significant increase in farmers’ income, a reduction in our country’s reliance on imports for essential goods, and a boost in domestic production. These outcomes will prove highly advantageous for the agricultural sector of our country.
The Punjab Government’s policy benefits not only the farmers but also the country’s agricultural economy as a whole.
Formation of Kisan Bank: A New Initiative for Providing Loans to Farmers
At the meeting, it was announced that the Punjab government plans to establish a Kisan Bank in the province, offering interest-free loans to small and medium-scale farmers. This initiative aims to support all farmers in improving their crop growth and covering necessary agricultural expenses.
