Global Easy Water Products (GEWP) specializes in affordable micro-irrigation and water storage for small-plot farmers in India. The company outsources KB brand drip irrigation products which are extremely useful on land plots growing crop-like vegetables, cotton, sugarcane and horticulture. Unlike commercially available micro-irrigation products which require highly trained technicians and are designed for large field of over 2 hectares, KB brand products are easy to operate and are far more affordable.
Micro and precision irrigation present farmers with a significant increase in yield and income. The lower input cost (caused from fertilizer, water, energy, etc.) and greater yield creates job opportunities for workers in the agricultural field, especially during harvest seasons. Rural communities are able to become more established, reducing the need to migrate to larger cities and thus abandoning one's home and culture.
