Al-Ghazi Tractors Limited (AGTL), the manufacturers of New Holland tractors in Pakistan, has entered the Uzbek market with the delivery of its first export consignment and the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AgroTech Klaster, a company within the Uzavtosanoat JSC, Uzbekistan’s leading automotive and industrial manufacturing hub.
The MoU was signed in Tashkent by Mr Yasin Seker, Chief Executive Officer of AGTL, and Mr. Ulugbek Matkarimov, General Director of AgroTech Klaster, during a visit by AGTL’s senior delegation to Uzbekistan.

For Uzbek farmers, the partnership is intended to mean wider access to reliable, competitively priced tractors, backed by a partner with deep roots in the local agricultural sector.
The agreement builds on AGTL’s first delivery of 18 tractors to AgroTech Klaster. Reviewing the consignment with the visiting delegation, AgroTech Klaster’s technical leadership commended the build quality of the machines and their suitability for Central Asian farming conditions, giving both sides early confidence in the partnership ahead.
Under the MoU, the two companies will work together to grow business volumes, facilitate cross-border trade and explore technology collaboration in advanced mechanization. They will also assess future opportunities in high-technology farm machinery for Pakistan, including cotton pickers and combine harvesters, as Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector continues to modernize.
