The points discussed allowed to discuss the possibility of installing 4 solar pumps in the coming weeks, to facilitate the irrigation of more than 250 hectares in Anse-Rouge in the upper Artibonite and Baie de Henne in the lower North-West.
Also Agro Action will help to irrigate a few hundred hectares of the 10,000 ha of the vast plain of Maribahoux as part of a future project with funding from the European Union.
