In a major boost to Punjab’s agricultural sector, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has officially approved a Rs. 5,000 per acre wheat subsidy aimed at supporting over 600,000 farmers across the province. This decision, announced during a high-level meeting, is part of the broader Kissan Card initiative, designed to ease the burden on small and medium-scale farmers while enhancing national food security.
A Historic Move to Support Farmers
The wheat subsidy plan is a landmark initiative focused on strengthening Punjab’s rural economy. With input costs like seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides skyrocketing, the Rs. 5,000 per acre support is a timely relief that allows farmers to invest in better crop management and ensure higher wheat yields.
This subsidy isn’t limited to registered farmers alone. In a groundbreaking move, the scheme also covers unregistered wheat growers, making it one of the most inclusive agricultural support programs in Punjab’s history.
