Project Overview

This project aimed to revolutionize farming practices in Balochistan by introducing drip irrigation systems across fields cultivating grapes, almonds, and pistachios. Under the funding of PSDP Balochistan, the initiative focused on farmer sensitization, mobilization, and technical training to ensure effective water management and sustainable agricultural practices. The project covered farmer profiling, land suitability analysis, soil and water testing, system design, and installation, followed by hands-on training on system operation, fertigation, and maintenance.

By integrating advanced irrigation solutions, the project enhanced agricultural efficiency, reduced water wastage, and empowered local farmers with knowledge and resources for long-term success.

Scope of Work:

• Community Engagement & Sensitization – Educating farmers on water-efficient irrigation
• Drip Irrigation System Installation – Implementing modern irrigation techniques for grapes, almonds, and pistachios
• Farmer Profiling & Land Suitability Analysis – Assessing soil and water conditions for optimal system design
• Survey & System Design – Conducting topographic and water source evaluations
• Material Sourcing & Procurement – Local and international sourcing for high-quality irrigation components
• System Implementation – Excavation, pipeline installation, head unit fabrication, and filtration setup
• Training & Capacity Building – Educating farmers on system operation, maintenance, and fertigation scheduling
• Market Linkages & Postharvest Practices – Connecting farmers with local and export markets for better profitability

Key Project Components:

• ✅ Successful mobilization and training of local farmers on water-efficient farming techniques
• ✅ Installation of a sustainable irrigation system improving agricultural productivity
• ✅ Strengthened farmer capacity in agribusiness, harvest, and postharvest management
