The Role of Rivulis in Empowering Farmers: Rivulis is at the forefront of helping farmers access the financing they need to adopt advanced irrigation systems, like the D5000 PC drip lines. These systems are designed to improve water efficiency, increase productivity, and ensure long-term sustainability. Through their tailored Impact Financing solutions, Rivulis is making these technologies accessible to farmers of all sizes, from smallholders to large agricultural operations. As global interest rates continue to drop, the window of opportunity for farmers to invest in sustainable farming practices is wider than ever. Rivulis provides innovative financing options that allow farmers to upgrade or install micro-irrigation systems, addressing both short-term and long-term agricultural challenges. “Lower interest rates globally create a key opportunity for farmers to invest in long-term technologies like micro-irrigation, which improve water efficiency and productivity,” said Eran Ossmy, Chief Commercial Officer at Rivulis. “Our Impact Financing solutions support farmers in upgrading or installing new systems, providing the financial support needed for success.”
Flexible Financing for Every Type of Farmer Rivulis understands that every farm is unique, and so are its financing needs. That’s why the company offers a range of financing models designed to cater to different farm sizes and requirements. 1. Smallholders Rivulis partners with agri-food companies to share the risk and provide long-term financing options for micro-irrigation systems. This collaboration ensures that smallholders can access the capital needed to invest in advanced technologies that improve crop productivity and quality. 2. Small-to-Medium Projects For medium-sized projects, Rivulis offers flexible payment plans, with terms extending up to five years. These plans, available through local and global financial institutions, enable farmers to accelerate their growth and adopt sustainable irrigation technologies quickly. 3. Large Projects For large-scale projects (over $5 million), Rivulis helps to facilitate supplier financing, or leasing options. These financing models are supported by debt funds, multilateral banks, and other financial institutions that align with sustainable development goals (SDGs). By working with financial institutions that prioritize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, Rivulis ensures that these financing options are not only viable but also align with global standards for sustainability.
The Ideal Time to Invest: Lower Interest Rates As central banks worldwide reduce interest rates, farmers can now access financing at a much lower cost, making it easier than ever to invest in critical infrastructure like micro-irrigation systems. These systems, which conserve water and boost productivity, are essential in today’s agricultural landscape, where water scarcity and climate change are pressing concerns. “Micro-irrigation helps farmers manage water resources efficiently, especially as water availability becomes more unpredictable,” Ossmy explained. “These systems not only improve productivity but also provide long-term resilience.” With water conservation and sustainability now at the top of the agricultural agenda, farmers who invest in micro-irrigation technologies will remain competitive in a global market that demands sustainable practices. Furthermore, these systems help farmers increase crop yields, improve resilience to climate change, and ensure their long-term viability.
The Broader Impact of Micro-Irrigation and Financing By adopting micro-irrigation technologies through Rivulis’ Impact Financing, farmers can diversify their investments and incorporate technology-driven, sustainable practices into their operations. These investments allow them to build resilience against unpredictable weather, rising costs, and fluctuating produce prices. Additionally, micro-irrigation systems help farmers meet the growing demand for high-quality agricultural products, which is essential for global food security and trade. “We are witnessing a unique opportunity where lower interest rates align with the need for updated irrigation systems, benefiting farmers,” Ossmy concluded. “Investing in modern irrigation systems helps farmers improve productivity, enhance competitiveness, and contribute to global food security.” Rivulis’ Impact Financing initiatives are making it easier for farmers to transition to more sustainable farming practices while ensuring long-term success. By providing accessible financing options, Rivulis is not only empowering farmers but also helping to build a more resilient and sustainable agricultural future.
