A global landmark, built to master a challenge of unprecedented scale. 
Securing the Future of Palm Oil in Gabon

The world's largest palm oil irrigation project. Spanning 25,000 hectares, it demanded a partner with the capability to re-engineer reality — shifting from unpredictable rain to the absolute reliability of precision irrigation, and laying the foundation for a stronger, more secure future on the ground. To master a challenge of this scale, Netafim Projects synchronized specialized engineering expertise into one integrated, in-house force. All delivered through a global pandemic and closed borders. The result: a yield increase, turning a struggling plantation into a high-performance, future-proof operation.

Creating the most advanced ​agriculture eco-system in Africa

Transforming land that was previously not suitable for farming with​ an innovative new model for farmers and investors. Farmers will be growing a mix of staple and high-value crops​ in all weather conditions throughout the year​ with up to a 50% saving in water resources, double of most yields and greatly improved quality of crops.

"With the recent climatic changes, less and less water is available where it's needed. The Gabiro Agribusiness Hub project brings to the country Precision Irrigation, which is going to help farmers and investors to GROW MORE WITH LESS™. This is really the essence of this project."

Michael Brudeli, Gabiro Project Manager, Netafim
