The Fuel Problem

Petrol is costing Tigray farmers a fortune

With petrol now costing 220 Birr per litre, running a petrol pump through a full growing season is an enormous burden — and prices only keep rising year after year.

The good news? The sun is free. Switch to SolarPlex and your irrigation fuel bill drops to zero — permanently.

⛽
Petrol Pump — Per Season Cost
