Three-phase investment in folding containers for agricultural irrigation

4 FAQs about Three-phase investment in folding containers for agricultural irrigation

Can irrigation improve agricultural yields?

Irrigation can lead to agricultural yields two to three times as great as those of rainfed agriculture, allowing for investment in irrigation systems to be recouped because higher-value or higher-yielding crops can be produced.

What is a low-operating cost gravity fed irrigation method?

Low-operating cost gravity fed irrigation methods such as furrow, basin, and micro-basin may be used where water can be distributed in large qualities using height differences from source to field but, if pumping is required, access to energy, pipelines must be installed to transport the water and operational costs are higher.

Will irrigated crop production increase the net income of smallholder farmers?

The financing gap for SSI is significant, but it is expected that a substantial proportion of the 500 million-person global market represented by smallholder farmers could benefit from introducing irrigated crop production and increase their net incomes if financially viable projects can be developed.
