Akhuwat Islamic Microfinance). A revolving fund amounting to Rs. 2.00 Billion has been
provided to Akhuwat Islamic Microfinance whereas all the remaining PFIs /MFIs arrange
their credit lines through their own resources. Farmer’s registration for the scheme is
being carried out through PLRA. Interest free loans are being provided amounting to Rs,
30,000/- per acre for Rabi crop and Rs. 40,000/- per acre for Kharif crop. Farmers
having land holding upto 12.5 acres. Shall be eligible for interest free financing under
the scheme, however, the interest/markup subsidy will be provided upto 5 acres only.
The applicant farmer/tenant/sharecropper should be the same union council where the
land is located. During the current year 2019-20, Rs. 600 million have been allocated for

Objectives
 The primary objective of the scheme is to facilitate the farmer to have a bumper
crop
 To enable farmers to sell the product at affordable prices
 Increase farmers digital literacy
 Increase overall financial inclusion in the country

To encourage the under-banked and non-banked farmers into the banking network,
therefore around 70% of the loan is to be disbursed to the farmers having no previous
credit history

Outcomes

Financial Intervention

To update the living standard of farming communities and to alleviate the

poverty, up till now, a total No. of 470,810 of farmers have been registered by PLRA
under the E-Credit Scheme. Moreover, a Total of 916,768 Nos.of loans have been
disbursed to small farmers of Punjab amounting to Rs. 61.99 Billion by PFIs. The
Government of Punjab has paid a subsidy of Rs, 5.522 Billion (Including Rs, 2 Billion
including Revolving Fund given to Akhuwat Islamic Microfinance).

Digital Intervention

To increase digital literacy among the farmers community, providing them real time
weather updates, pesticides warning, pest crop practices, subject matter expert advice
etc. GoPunjab has provided 78,677 No. of subsidized Smart phones along with 10 Agri.
mobile Apps, to the loanee farmers. The remaining. 31,323 Nos. of handsets will be
disbursed later on.

 Subsidy of Fertilizers and Seeds

 E-Voucher Based Fertilizer Subsidy

Phosphate and potassic fertilizers subsidy has been provided on DAP, NP, SSP, SOP,
MOP and NPK fertilizers @ 500, 200, 200, 800, 500 and 300 per 50Kg bag.
A voucher has been provided in each fertilizer bag, the registered farmers of Punjab can
get subsidy by sending hidden voucher number along with CNIC to the short code 8070
and can collect subsidy from the designated Branchless Banking Operator franchise.

The use of phosphatic and potash fertilizers was decreasing due to their high prices and
the balanced use of fertilizers was not being observed. As such a direct subsidy scheme
initiative has been taken in Punjab so that the farmers can get benefit from the subsidy
and improve NPK ratio of fertilizer use.

It will lead to higher yield and better profits for the farmers of Punjab.

 E-Voucher Based Cotton Seed Subsidy

Cotton seed subsidy has been provided in the cotton growing division of
Multan, D G Khan and Bahawalpur.

The subsidy has been provided on selected and certified cotton seed varieties @ 1000/-
per bag (6Kg Delinted and 10Kg Fuzzy Seed). One farmer was given a subsidy on two
bags of certified cotton seed.A subsidy voucher has been provided in subsidized cotton
seed bags and farmers can get subsidy by sending hidden code along with CNIC to
short code 8070 and can collect subsidy from BBO.The use of certified cotton seed
varieties has also been promoted by providing subsidy on cotton seed for better crop
yield.

 Potash Subsidy Scheme 2020-21

The Potash Subsidy Scheme was launched by the Agriculture Department in FY 2020-
21 with an allocated budget of 134 Million PKR. Under the scheme subsidy was
provided on potash fertilizers (SOP, MOP & NPKs) to the registered farmers throughout
the Punjab via E-vouchers pasted on fertilizers bags.

Objectives

 To promote the use of potash fertilizers

 To enhance the productivity of crops by addition of fertilizers

Outcome
The usage of the Potash fertilizer (SOP and MOP), by the farmers, increased in the
province due to the subsidy available on the fertilizer bags

Subsidy on Gram

Gram is the largest Rabi pulses crop accounting for 76% of the total production of
pulses in the country and it occupies about 5 percent of the crop area. Punjab produces
more than 80% of overall production in the country. Generally, the farmer uses un-
certified seed due to which production and yield suffers. Therefore, the Agriculture
Department launched a subsidy scheme for provision of certified seed to the farmers
through registered seed companies of FSC and RD. The aim of this scheme is to
increase the per acre yield of Gram through promotion of certified and healthy seed. Rs.
2000 per acre will be paid to the farmers to use certified seed through e-Vouchers. This
scheme is for main Gram producing districts i.e. Bhakkar, Mianwali, Khushab,
Sargodha, Muzaffargarh, Layyah, Rajanpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Jhang, Bahawalnagar,
Chakwal and Attock.

Objectives

 Main objective of the agriculture sector is to increase productivity/ production

 Promotion of gram cultivation, production and make the province self-sufficient
 Promotion of certified seed
 Increase the income of the farmer

Outcomes

 Self-sufficiency in gram production

The price of Gram will be maintained at a certain level that will keep price in the reach
of the common manIncrease income of farmers .
