The Minsk Tractor Plant (MTZ) has announced plans to supply at least 2,700 Belarus tractors, each with up to 60 hp, to Pakistan in 2025.
This agreement was formalized during Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko’s visit to Pakistan, as shared by the enterprise’s press service.
MTZ General Director Sergei Avramenko highlighted the possibility of assembling these tractors in Pakistan. The local assembly is expected to lower costs for consumers and enhance accessibility.
Avramenko noted the strong and growing partnership between Minsk Tractor Works and Pakistan. The export of BELARUS tractors saw a significant increase of 107.9% from January to September 2024 compared to the same period in the previous year.

So is this the result of Belarusian President’s visit to Pakistan? Is this what the government achieved? More imports. Disappointing performance. You need to increase exports, not imports.
There is possibility to manufacture it in Pakistan. This was in the talks, but significant.
60 HP is very low powered engine, modern tractors are minimum 100+ HP, a Toyota Corolla has higher HP than these tractors.
Whats about Pakistani tractors 🚜 looks like a dent on local Manufacturers 🤔
I wonder if Pakistan official sought and got agreement for exporting agriculture produce to Belarus in return. Such condition is always very important as only buying lead to loss of foreign exchange eventually have adverse effect on economy. This can only be neutralised by mutual trade.
