The Mohammed bin Zayed Water Initiative in the UAE is testing solutions from Egypt’s Agri-Fyt and Brazil’s Krilltech to reduce agricultural water use while maintaining or increasing productivity. The results are to be independently assessed locally. In earlier trials, Agri-Fyt’s technology reduced irrigation for spinach by 25%. Trials on mint showed water use falling by around 41% and productivity rising by as much as 71%. A study of Krilltech’s technology on beans recorded an irrigation reduction of up to 20%, with an average productivity increase of around 25%. Both companies stressed that results vary depending on the crop and conditions, and that return estimates and final results from the UAE trials have yet to be established.
