Al Dispensa has become one of the most successful banana plantations in Colombia, despite the region's annual 6 month long dry season. Their success secret can be traced to initial consultations with Netafim's Colombian representative. This banana growing project, which includes banana tissue culture, was completed in stages. First, soil and climate data were taken on-site and analyzed by Netafim in Israel. Based on this information, Netafim then designed an irrigation system network that solved La Dispensa's fertilizationand irrigation problems.
