All aboard the pineapple express

In the sun-soaked hills of Sierra Leone, pineapple plants are thriving thanks to a high-tech irrigation system designed and exported by our Durman^® brand in Costa Rica. This advanced CropX sprinkler system, equipped with humidity sensors, brings precision irrigation expertise across continents, enhancing fruit production while conserving water and energy.

With the first farm now operational and a second set to launch in 2025, the initiative is not only unlocking a $10 million market but also sharing knowledge and creating local jobs. CropXTM is a global agritech solutions company that Aliaxis has invested in to collaborate on data-driven precision irrigation.
