Rwanda: $13 million invested into irrigation system for farmers

In a new scheme the government has invested $13 million into a new irrigation system to benefit farmers and boost production in the country. This new solar powered irrigation system is planned to promote climate resilient agriculture and sustain production through droughts which some regions of the country are known for.

This follows a partnership between Japan international Co-operation Agency and the Government of Rwanda. The system is aimed at helping farmers of vegetables and fruit in Rurenge and Remera.

According to Hiroyuki Nakada, the chief representative of JICA, the agriculture sector employs over 72 percent of the population and generates 33 percent of the national gross domestic product.
