Project Details
GVM Company Ltd has constructed a 50,000 cubic metre valley dam to harvest and store floodwater from the slopes of Mount Elgon, creating a reliable water source for dry-season irrigation. This infrastructure underpins the establishment of a high-value Hass avocado plantation, ensuring year-round production despite increasingly erratic rainfall patterns. To maximize efficiency, the project will deploy AI-driven drip irrigation systems that use real-time data on soil moisture, weather conditions, and crop requirements to precisely regulate water application. This integrated approach significantly reduces water wastage, enhances crop yields, and strengthens climate resilience, positioning GVM Company Ltd as a scalable model for climate-smart agriculture in the region.
