This strategic collaboration marks an important milestone in enhancing local manufacturing and reducing dependence on imported agricultural equipment.
The initiative aims to promote industrial development, create employment opportunities, and facilitate technology transfer to Pakistan by setting up a modern tractor assembly facility in Balochistan. The project is expected to attract technical expertise and investment to the province, contributing to regional economic uplift and skill development.

The production of BELARUS tractors—renowned for their durability and performance—will not only strengthen Pakistan’s agricultural sector but also provide local farmers with reliable, cost-effective machinery. Industry analysts view this partnership as a positive long-term move that could pave the way for greater industrial collaboration between Pakistan and Belarus.
With the launch of local assembly operations, Balochistan is poised to become a new hub for agricultural machinery production, driving progress in both industry and agriculture across the region.
