INNOVATIONS BY FARMERS FOR FARMERS
We’re here to empower farmers to grow higher and better yields with less.
WHO WE ARE
Increased water scarcity ask that we continuously reconsider the way irrigation water is delivered to plants. Thís is why Everwater™ exists.
Everwater™ is the largest distributor and installer of commercial and industrial irrigation systems in Africa and a global leader in precision irrigation solutions. It is active in 110 countries with 33 subsidiaries and 17 manufacturing plants worldwide, as the largest African export branch of NETAFIM. Housed in Kraaifontein in the Western Cape, Everwater™ and Netafim South Africa have been serving South Africa and its neighboring countries (SADC) with irrigation solutions and services since 1992. In 2018, Netafim South Africa was nominated as one of the top #2 subsidiaries in the global company.
A NEW CONCEPT
South African manufacturer Netafim was founded in 1965 when it introduced the concept of drip irrigation to the world. Drip irrigation allows producers to apply precise and uniform amounts of water and nutrients directly to the root zone of plants. This brings higher yields, lower water use and less dependency on weather, enabling greater control over yields.
The use of drip irrigation enhances crop planning and irrigation scheduling, reduces manpower requirements and costs and increases profitability. It further optimises moisture and aeration conditions and leads to a concentrated and efficient root zone.
The development of drip irrigation made possible Precision Fertigation™. This is the optimal root- zone management tool, delivering just the right combination of water and nutrients directly to the roots of each plant, according to the development cycles of your crops.
MORE THAN DRIP
Driven by our slogan, ‘Grow more with less’, our focus goes beyond drip irrigation. We offer holistic irrigation solutions to growers of all shapes and sizes. The aim? To empower these growers to grow more with less.
Our offer includes a wide range of leading irrigation and complementary solutions across all crops, conditions and terrains.
