DRIP IRRIGATION IN GEM SIAYA COUNTY

Cost: Ksh. 380000

Drip Irrigation Project – Gem, Siaya In Gem, Siaya County, we implemented a 2-hectare drip irrigation system to support sustainable and water-efficient farming practices. The system was specifically installed for the cultivation of onions, which require consistent moisture for optimal bulb formation and high yields. The dripline installation offers several key benefits: Precise water delivery directly to the root zone Reduced water wastage and lower evaporation loss Improved crop health and uniform growth Weed suppression due to targeted irrigation This project has greatly improved productivity, allowing for year-round onion farming regardless of seasonal rainfall. It's a vital step toward promoting climate-smart agriculture and improving income opportunities for local farmers.
