and still the benefices are not common people.

Maybe used on road like lorries. Even in India lots of tractors were used like that. No wonder they sell in huge quantities like 7,00,000 in India in 17-18. But they are a nuisance on the road.

Do you know that yesterday India launched UK's commercial satellites??

Thanks to Nya Pakistan. ....where CEPEC is in process of roll-back....

Chinese are buying all the land. No wonder

Over 35,000 tractors are currently being used in Bangladesh's agricultural sector and the demand is increasing. Indian tractors are very popular and cost around Taka 10 lakh (from $10,000 to $15,000) in Bangladesh.

14 percent interest for farmers is too high. There should be drive or incentives five years payment plan without interest by the manufacturers to support the farmers,farming and increasing their business. Win win for everyone and it will boost employment, agriculture output and more profit for every one.

The writer fails to explain how the increase is related to CPEC, those manufacturers already existed and the reasons listed have nothing to do with CPEC. CPEC is a Chinese plan for their trade through Pakistan, Pakistan has little, if any benefit because we gave away tax holidays for Chinese business. The roads and bridges will be used by Chinese but Pakistan will be paying the loan installments. Pakistanis will starve because all the crops are for chinese market.

Good to know, however can we expand on the term "Thanks to CPEC".

Good to know the progress made by MTL in capturing a high market share in the Tractor industries of Pakistan. The Federal Govt should also support local Automobiles manufacturer most likely of 3 Wheeler Auto Rickshaw Industries that have the potential to match with the world top most selling international brand "Bajaj Auto". If the govt support these industries to export their products internationally, Pakistan will lead exports of Auto Rickshaws in the entire world. Departments like PSQC, PPTA, Excise and Taxation and EDBA should promote their local industries by authorizing and giving approval on all models of Auto Rickshaws in 3 Wheeler instead of holding or delaying their manufacturing approval. It will not just gonna destroy local industries but many people will get jobless. I would like to request the Govt of Pakistan to show some concern on it. Rickshaw Auto customers are poor people. They make money from it by giving services to People in moving from some place to another.

How come CPEC increased the tractor production ? According to Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, who led all the negotiations and signed the CPEC contracts, agriculture is NOT part of CPEC - and Pakistan would not allow any other country to capture our agriculture land?

Congratulations. A momentum of revenue is expected let the CPEC fully operational. The export of cement, rice, and cotton products, will get a boost. As too much is consumed at Karachi Port, which is handling cargo more than its capacity. Those who oppose the CPEC, are requested to learn about Hong Kong Port, Hamburg Port, The Suez Canal, and the Panama Canal, certainly anybody can get information how fruitful are the Ports and roads are.

I don't understand how CPEC has influenced tractor sales, unless they are involved in construction? Can anyone elucidate ?

Cost of tractor in India is 2 lakh INR that is 1200 dollar onwards, why pakistan is producing them at7000$.

@Fatima ...... The tractors have many uses besides farming. They have many auxiliary implements. The PTO (Power Take Off) option, can be used to drive many other mechanical implements or used for water extraction thru tube wells. The Tractors are also used for land levelling and preparation, which is needed for road construction. Plus tractors can be used for load pulling and cargo load delivery. A simple farm tractor has many uses outside of a farm.

@wsyed right.. agreed ????/????

@Yes because of low quality.. already stated above.. ????
