Many farmers from Binh Minh, Vinh Thuan, Kien Giang Province, developed an irrigation machine which allows farmers to water their fields. The machine was re-invented from existed lawn mowers.

Many households in Kien Giang together invented the machines which are as effective as commercial devices available in the market.
Mr. Tran Nguyen Vu, a farmer from Binh Minh hamlet, Binh Minh commune, with 10.000 square meters planting water melon, said: “In order to own an irrigation machine, farmers only pay 2 million VND, in which most cost is for lawn mowers, the remainders are to buy pumps, plastic tubes that are less than 100.000 VND.
The manufacturing process is quite simple; farmers just remove the blade, and replace with a pumping part.
According to Mr. Vu, the machine is as effective as 6 people who irrigate by hands, so it reduced the labor consumption dramatically. |
