In Egypt’s Minya Governorate, a groundbreaking farming project is proving that even the desert can thrive with the right technology. Savola Egypt, a leading agribusiness, is turning 10,000 feddans (= 4,200 hectares/10,380 acres) of reclaimed land into productive farmland, with sugar beet as the flagship crop. In part of this project, they are using Komet’s KPT sprinkler system, a precision irrigation solution.
Precision Irrigation Unlocks Desert Potential
Since 2016, Savola has relied on Komet’s KPT sprinklers to irrigate previously arid land, using groundwater from deep wells. Desert farming comes with unique challenges: high soil salinity, low organic matter, variable water availability, and intensive fertigation needs. To achieve consistent yields, Savola needed a reliable, high-performance irrigation system.
Tamer Hamdy, Site Manager at Savola Group, explains: “We needed an irrigation solution we could trust – not just for a season, but for years. The KPT sprinkler proved itself in real-world conditions. Its reliability and performance under tough water and soil challenges have been exceptional.”
Komet’s KPT sprinklers deliver uniform water distribution, supporting strong root development and consistent sugar beet yields. Their durability and low maintenance requirements allow Savola’s teams to focus on crop performance, reducing operational costs while maximizing productivity.
Driving Regional Impact
The benefits extend beyond the farm. Savola’s project supports a major sugar beet processing factory in Al-Nubariyah, creating jobs and strengthening the local economy. This partnership demonstrates that precision irrigation is not just about water management, it’s about sustainable growth and regional development.
“Komet didn’t just sell us a sprinkler. They became part of our vision. They understood what we were trying to build, and helped us make it real.” Hamdy says.
Grow More with Less Water: In water-scarce regions like Egypt, smart irrigation systems are essential. Komet’s KPT sprinklers prove that it’s possible to grow more while using less, turning ambitious projects into reality and empowering farms to thrive even in challenging environments.
