The Opportunity
LR Group’s innovative SPFS technology offers a simple, cost-effective solution for integrated irrigation and fertigation systems that are ready to deploy “out of the box,” quick and easy installation. With over 1,500 installed SPIS irrigation systems spanning more than 20,000 hectares primarily in the Philippines, our technology leverages advanced Israeli precision agriculture to boost farmers’ productivity and profitability while significantly lowering cultivation costs.
The Vision
We believe that effective irrigation is the cornerstone of transitioning from traditional to modern, sustainable agriculture. Our systems are designed to be versatile and scalable, suitable for large and small plots. They adapt seamlessly to various water sources, such as wells and surface water, and support diverse irrigation methods including sprinklers, flooding, drip, and hydroponics. Our goal is to reduce operational costs by replacing diesel-powered systems, promote environmentally friendly practices with zero emissions, and empower farmers to triple their yields through innovative technology.
The Challenges
Climate change presents new hurdles for crop cultivation, including droughts and unpredictable weather patterns. Our SPIS solutions act as a vital drought buffer, maintaining crop yields even during harsh periods. By optimizing water use and reducing wastage, our technology offers a sustainable and eco-friendly approach that helps farmers adapt to climate challenges while preserving natural resources.
The Impact
Implementing SPFS technology can enable farmers to conduct a second crop cycle during the dry season, effectively increasing annual production. It eliminates the costs and environmental impacts associated with diesel-powered irrigation. Additionally, integrated fertigation and advanced monitoring systems enhance crop yields by at least 50%, ensuring higher profitability and a more sustainable future for agriculture.
