Ethiopia – Large-scale cultivation of plantations

Fri-El Green Power is an Italian company that has been operating in Ethiopia since 2007, getting the grant from Ethiopian Government of 30.000 hectares of land for large-scale cultivation of plantations and food crops.
The proximity of Omo river ensures abundant availability of water, which however has to be lifted and supplied to the crops. Fri-El Green Power has chosen Veneroni as its partner in this important and ambitious project.
Veneroni has built two plants on the Omo river, each consisting of two SBN mixed flow pumps with total flow of 4.000 l/s and head of 10 m for irrigation of the vast areas planted with cotton.
Veneroni has developed the plant from design to production, even to installation and test.
