MENA Drip Irrigation System Market Continues To Grow Rapidly As Netafirm Received An US$ 85 Million Deal From MEIL To Execute Three New Irrigation Projects In Karnataka, India

MENA Drip Irrigation System Market


 Drip irrigation systems use controlled dripping from a drip irrigation controller to evenly distribute water to the plants in a garden or plantation. This method of watering is very effective at conserving water and minimizing the loss of moisture from the soil. It also provides plant nutrition by evenly distributing nutrients across the plant canopy reducing wastage through root rot, high transpiration, and the formation of unsightly weed seeds. High efficiency over other irrigation techniques is another major advantage that is accelerating the adoption of drip irrigation. With drip irrigation fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized since it uses the localized application. Besides, water application efficiency is enhanced and can be adopted for irregular shapes of fields. Thus, such factors can stimulate growth of the MENA drip irrigation system market in the near future.

Recently, in August 2020, Netafirm, an Israeli irrigation company, entered into an US$ 85 million deal with Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Limited (MEIL) to execute three new irrigation projects in Karnataka, India.

One of the key reasons behind the high adoption of drip irrigation systems is proactive government initiatives and subsidies. Governments of many countries are encouraging installation drip irrigation system since it is more reliable, sustainable, and highly efficient. Recently, in April 2020, the Egyptian Government announced to invest US$ 11.6 million to modernize irrigation systems in the northern part of the country. The primary objective of this program is to change the surface irrigation systems to drip irrigation, which consumes less water. Hence, such factors can augment growth of the MENA drip irrigation system market.

Regardless of its numerous advantages, drip irrigation is significantly expensive and requires high capital investment. Its installation cost is higher than sprinkler irrigation and thus the low percentage of the population tends to adopt drip irrigation. Besides, it has high maintenance cost where valves, backflow preventers, and tubing requires frequent replacement, which could potentially impede growth of the MENA drip irrigation system market.

Drip irrigation can also be used for pre-flowering and post-flowering applications where the flowers are not likely to move or be disturbed. When using drip irrigation, the principle is to provide a consistent rate of delivery of watered water without extensive evaporation, and the greatest benefit is provided when the soil is watered directly by the sprinkler head reducing the loss of moisture through soil evaporation and allowing the crop roots to absorb the water. In terms of geographical impact, Middle East seems to be exhibiting promising signs for the adoption of a drip irrigation system. This is typically due to the fact that many countries in the Middle East are focused on higher agricultural yield. Since countries such as Israel have its 80% of land irrigated, the demand for drip irrigation is likely to boost and subsequently accelerate growth of the MENA drip irrigation system market.
