Project background:

Additional irrigation during the dry season

Reason for irrigating oil palms is for additional irrigation during the dry season. This ensures a constant harvest of oil palm seeds for 12 months of the year. Without irrigation, the oil palms can only produce a crop during the rainy season.

All materials and pvc pipe are shipped from South Africa.
12 Meter cargo containers were loaded, total of 67. The project is divided into 4 phases. The irrigation manager of Ramu Agri, managed and had all the installation done over a period of 10 months.
