The challenge
Rain-fed farming leaves yields at the mercy of the season. Too little water at the wrong growth stage cuts harvests; too much wastes water, fuel and fertiliser, and washes nutrients out of the soil.
Many irrigation systems are bought off the shelf rather than designed for the field, the crop and the water source, so they underperform from the first season.
What we do
We start from your land, crops and water source, and design the system that suits them:
- Centre pivot irrigation for large fields of crops such as rice, maize, wheat and cotton
- Drip irrigation, delivering water straight to the root zone, for orchards and vegetables
- Sprinkler irrigation, adaptable to different soils and crops
Through our partnerships with Zimmatic and Tamkeen, we supply and install the equipment, and plan how and when to water so every drop counts.
What you receive
- An irrigation design matched to your fields, crops and water supply
- Equipment from established manufacturers, supplied and installed
- A watering plan based on your crops' needs at each growth stage
- Practical guidance for your team on running the system
Work process
How it works
- Step - [01]
Site and water assessment:
We visit the farm to assess the land, soil, crops and water source.
- Step - [02]
System design:
We choose the right system (pivot, drip or sprinkler) and size it for your fields.
- Step - [03]
Supply and installation:
We supply the equipment through our partners and install it on site.
- Step - [04]
Commissioning and handover:
We test the system with your team and agree a watering plan.
Questions and answers
Questions about Irrigation System Design & Installation
Centre pivot, drip and sprinkler systems. We recommend one after assessing your land, crops and water source.
We work with Zimmatic, a pioneer in irrigation systems, and Tamkeen, for agricultural infrastructure.
Yes. In Kwara State, for example, we’re providing the irrigation and farm planning for 1,000 hectares of rice farmland for Labent Nigeria Ltd.
Yes. Irrigation often comes with farm planning and design, which our consultancy team provides.
Send us a request with your location, farm size and crops. We’ll arrange a site assessment and quote from it.
