Rising fuel prices aren’t just an economic headline they’re a direct threat to Sri Lankan agriculture. The fuel price impact on farmers is especially severe for those relying on petrol and diesel-powered water pumps for irrigation.
At Deep Tec Engineering, we understand these challenges. That’s why we provide sustainable solar-powered alternatives that help farmers stay productive, independent, and profitable.
When fuel prices increase, farmers face several critical challenges:
Most rural farms depend on fuel powered pumps. As fuel becomes more expensive, the cost of irrigating crops rises too, putting added pressure on already tight budgets.
To manage escalating costs, many farmers are forced to reduce the area they cultivate. This limits food production and directly affects income.
Cutting back on irrigation due to high fuel costs can lead to under-watered crops and lower yields, affecting both food supply and long-term sustainability.
Imagine a typical Sri Lankan farmer who relies on a petrol-powered pump for irrigation. When fuel prices rise, so do their operating expenses. This often forces the farmer to either reduce irrigation time or scale down the cultivated land both of which have negative impacts on harvest and income.
At Deep Tec Engineering, we offer solar-powered irrigation systems that eliminate fuel dependency completely and operate with free energy from the sun.
