-
Access to fertilizers, seeds, and other agricultural inputs
-
Financial services and support programs
-
Expert guidance from agronomists and field specialists

Use of modern farming equipment, including tractors and machinery
-
Rental services for small and medium-scale farmers

The initiative aims to reduce reliance on middlemen, provide fair market access, and ensure that farmers receive timely and accurate support for improved productivity.
Calling it a record achievement, Maryam Nawaz said the project was delivered in a short span of time and reflects her government’s vision of modernising agriculture through innovation and technology.
“We are committed to turning Punjab’s agriculture into a powerful, tech-driven industry. Our farmers deserve the best tools, support, and facilities to thrive in today’s competitive world,” she said.
