Pakistan’s agriculture sector is set for a significant upgrade with plans to introduce 57–80 horsepower Belarus tractors via a local assembly line. The initiative aims to improve farm productivity, lower machinery costs, and create investment opportunities.
A high-level meeting with private tractor investors, Margalla Heavy Industries Ltd., Heavy Industries Taxila, and Green Corporate Initiatives discussed the establishment of a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) plant to locally assemble Belarus tractors. The project is expected to have strong market potential, with an estimated demand for 2,800 units over the next five years.
Officials believe this initiative will strengthen Pakistan’s farm mechanization efforts and reduce reliance on imported agricultural machinery. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Industries and Production, Haroon Akhtar Khan, emphasized that an agreement with Belarus would significantly enhance agriculture and boost farmers’ productivity.
Industry experts view the Pakistan-Belarus B2B collaboration as a game-changer for the farming sector, offering the potential for advanced mechanization, improved yields, and sustainable agricultural growth.
