Are you a wheat grower in Punjab concerned about costs rising and weather unpredictability? If so, you are in luck! The Punjab government’s Wheat Support Program 2025 is here to not only help you survive, but to flourish! This revolutionary program encompasses cash support (cash), interest-free loans, and much more to safeguard your harvest and guarantee added income delivered through the Kissan Card. Do not delay, take advantage of this amazing program!
Key Features
This program is a monumental move towards strengthening small farmers. Here is what you need to know:
- Direct cash grants: Up to PKR 5,000 per acre, up to a maximum of PKR 25,000, will be paid into your account directly when you provide a Kissan Card.
- Interest-free loans: Up to PKR 30,000 per acre to buy things like seeds and fertilizers. The loan is paid after a harvest.
- Tax exemption: The government is offering exemptions from irrigation and fixed agricultural taxes, so you can keep more money in your pocket.
- Free storage: With the Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) program, you can hold your crop in storage for free for up to 4 months to protect it from being damaged and to sell it when prices are higher.
- Market Strengthening: Flour mills must purchase at least 25% of their wheat locally now, which increases the market price stability and ensures you are compensated for your work fairly.

To participate in the program, you will need to meet a few simple eligibility criteria:
- You must be a wheat farmer and be located in Punjab.
- You will need 1 – 5 acres of farmland.
