Drip irrigation in Kenya is a simple and consistent way of allowing water to percolate through the roots of plants. Water intake is distributed in an equal percentage for all plants. We offer every component required for drip line irrigation. The drip fittings and drip lines make up our drip irrigation systems. We do offer drip irrigation for sale, either alone or in drip irrigation kits. Prices for drip components vary based on type and amount. The cost of the drip kits varies according to the size of the farm. Our drip kit rates are typically based on the farm’s acreage and the number of lines per bed.
A drip line roll might cost between Ksh 8,000 and Ksh 9000 in total. The cost calculation may also take into account the amount of land needed and the number of lines to be installed per bed. The lowest and greatest acreages are 1 Acre and 1 Acre, respectively. There may be one, two, or three lines per bed, depending on the crops you are producing. Prices here therefore range from Ksh 10,000 to Ksh 130,000.
