The “Program for Quality Seed Production and Dissemination” is on track to elevate Punjab’s agricultural landscape by boosting the local production of key crop seeds. The initiative aims to make Punjab self-sufficient in basic seed production for 7 major crops—Wheat, Cotton, Maize, Paddy, Gram, Moong, and Oilseed—by 2026, alongside upgrading the Punjab Seed Corporation’s (PSC) 45-year-old seed processing infrastructure.
Key Objectives:
Established under the Punjab Seed Corporation Act, 1976, Punjab Seed Corporation (PSC) is a semi-autonomous organization of the Government of Punjab. For five decades, PSC has played a significant role in the development of Pakistan’s seed sector, contributing to agricultural productivity through the production and supply of quality seed at affordable prices.
The Corporation undertakes seed production, multiplication, procurement, processing, quality assurance, marketing and distribution through its established network of seed farms, processing facilities, sales centres and authorized dealers. Its operations are directed towards ensuring the availability of quality seed, enhancing crop productivity and supporting the sustainable development of Punjab’s agricultural sector.
PSC’s flagship brand, Shahzore, represented by its distinctive stallion emblem, has established a longstanding association with the farming community across Pakistan. The brand reflects the Corporation’s commitment to seed quality, reliability and service to farmers.
Building upon its institutional experience and infrastructure, PSC continues to pursue modernization, operational efficiency and improved service delivery. Through the adoption of improved technologies, strengthened quality-assurance practices and farmer-oriented initiatives, the Corporation remains committed to supporting agricultural development and contributing to food security.
Growth and Innovation
Welcome to Punjab Seed Corporation—the home of Shahzore seeds.
I warmly welcome our farmers, growers, dealers, researchers and partners. Every farmer invests hard-earned resources in a crop, and choosing the right seed is one of the most important decisions of the season. At PSC, our responsibility is to help you make that choice with confidence.
Since its establishment in 1976, Punjab Seed Corporation has worked to provide quality seed at affordable prices. Our Shahzore brand represents this longstanding commitment to the farming community—a commitment we must honor through the quality of our products and the service we provide.
Our strength begins well before the seed reaches your field. PSC brings together its own seed farms, a foundation seed program, around 1500 registered contract growers, processing facilities and quality-control arrangements. This organized system connects seed multiplication with field inspection, procurement, processing and certification, helping preserve the identity and quality of the varieties we supply.
Our processing network includes major plants at Sahiwal, Khanewal, Rahim Yar Khan and Piplan, supported by mini plants at Gujranwala and Jhang, with an annual processing capacity of approximately 90,000 metric tonnes. These facilities provide an important foundation for serving farmers across not only in Punjab but other provinces as well and preparing seed for seasonal demand.
Our processing system uses mechanical pre-cleaning, fine cleaning, grading and seed-treatment equipment, alongside specialised facilities for cotton ginning and delinting and maize cob drying. These operations are supported by seed-testing arrangements. For the farmer, the value of this infrastructure lies in the care taken to prepare seed for sowing—not simply to clean and pack grain for sale.
Our certified seed is produced through a supervised multiplication system and undergoes the field inspection, sampling and testing required by the Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department. Certification provides assurance against prescribed standards, including purity and germination, rather than relying on appearance or a seller’s claim alone.
Seed sold without reliable information about its origin, variety or testing does not provide the same documented assurance. We therefore encourage farmers to look beyond the price of a bag: check the variety, certification tag, seed-lot details and suitability for your area and sowing season. With Shahzore certified seed, you are choosing an identifiable source and a recognized quality-assurance process, backed by a public-sector institution you can approach.
We are committed to fair, transparent pricing and to improving efficiency in procurement, processing and distribution. Our aim is to make dependable seed accessible to smallholders as well as larger growers, while maintaining the standards on which their confidence depends. Please consult our published prices and confirm the availability of your preferred variety before purchasing.
We are also making it easier to reach us. Farmers can purchase through PSC sales centers and authorized dealers, while our website and WhatsApp facilities provide convenient access to product information, inquiries and ordering. Our presence on Daraz adds another purchasing channel as we extend Shahzore’s reach through digital platforms.
Looking ahead, our priorities are to strengthen processing and storage, improve farmer support, broaden access to suitable varieties and build productive partnerships with research institutions and the private sector. We want technology and better management to translate into practical benefits for the farmer: dependable quality, timely availability and good value.
Your trust must be earned every season. I invite you to share your experience, suggestions and concerns with us so that we can continue to improve. Whether you are purchasing seed, joining us as a grower or dealer, or exploring a partnership, you are welcome at PSC.
Thank you for choosing Shahzore. We look forward to being your dependable partner, season after season.
