Netafim (Yinchuan) boosts irrigation pipe production with new lines

Earlier this year, Netafim (Yinchuan) Agricultural Technology in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, added four flexible production lines capable of annually producing 1.5 billion meters of thin-walled drip irrigation pipes, enough to circle the earth 37.4 times.

According to Cai Zhixiong, general manager of Netafim (Yinchuan), the new production line investment will increase the company's capacity by more than 50 percent. Last year, the company's output value reached 198 million yuan ($27.2 million). This year's total is expected to reach 300 million yuan.

The Yinchuan company's businesses extend across 130 countries and regions, contributing to the enhancement of agricultural management practices. This acceleration guarantees the stability of grain production and the growth of income levels.

Netafim, a pioneering company in precision irrigation technology founded in Israel in 1965, established China's only processing center in Yinchuan in 2016.
