The Punjab Government has rolled out a game-changing initiative to rescue wheat farmers from rising costs and falling profits. With Rs. 15 billion approved, this first-ever wheat support package brings direct financial aid without the traditional wheat procurement barriers. Through the Kisan Card system, eligible farmers can now receive cash support directly in their bank accounts—no government wheat sale required.
What Is the Punjab Wheat Support Fund?
The Wheat Support Fund 2025 is a financial relief package for registered wheat farmers in Punjab. Delivered via Kisan Cards, this fund provides direct bank transfers without needing to sell wheat to government centers.

Why This Support Was Urgently Needed
Falling wheat rates and soaring costs pushed farmers to the edge. Traditional support tied to procurement was too restrictive. This package protects farmer profits, offers financial freedom, and restores dignity to Punjab’s rural economy.

Provincial vs Federal: Why Punjab Moved Alone
Due to delays from the Federal Government, Punjab decided to act independently. This allowed faster rollout and ensured no farmer is left waiting due to bureaucratic red tape.
Where and When Will This Be Available?
The rollout is district-wise, starting with areas where government procurement has ended. Even if you’ve already harvested or sold wheat, you’re still eligible if your land and crop data is verified.

Government’s Message to Farmers
CM Maryam Nawaz assures farmers:
“If you grow wheat, the Punjab Government stands with you—no matter where you sell it.”
This program respects your freedom and delivers support without middlemen or delays.
