Due to a mixture of ageing an irrigation system, as well as the risk of spread of Foc-TR4, Unifrutti Philippines contacted Bloom with two tasks for their MADC plantation, Mindanao, Philippines:
– Providing a solution to ensure irrigation could be resumed without risk of Foc-TR4 contamination
– Rehabilitation of the drip irrigation system across the plantation
Bloom were able to provide a cost-effective solution to fulfil both criteria, and provided 2 systems covering 264 hectares. From initial discussions in January 2016, Bloom completed the full installation of 2 pumping stations, water treatment, conveyance, and drip fertigation system.
