This year, «Astarta» expanded the area under irrigation to 1,000 hectares.

The company reports about it on its Facebook page.

The project is being implemented by «Poltavazernoprodukt» LLC. Five more sprinklers were added to the three sprinklers. For this purpose, 4 frontal machines and 1 circular machine were purchased in order to cover the planned area with irrigation as much as possible. All new units have already been put into operation on areas with sugar beets and hybrid corn. Machines are serviced by 14 hydraulic technicians who work in shifts.

Watering is carried out according to the water supply in the soil. Water is supplied by Poltava Regional Office of Water Resources. To do this, communications with a total length of about 10 km were restored and built in a year.

Restoration of the irrigation system at the agricultural company began in 2015 on the area of 300 hectares with drip irrigation. Currently, the project has been successfully implemented despite all the economic difficulties and the war.
