Netafim FlexNet Leads The Way In Sustainable Agriculture

Our Netafim FlexNet solution is more than a product. It’s a cost-effective, durable irrigation hack that saves growers time, resources, and money. Here’s why it’s becoming only more important for farmers.

The Big Problem

With continuous population growth and consumption of natural resources, our ecosystem is under unprecedented pressure. By 2050, the Earth will be home to 10 billion people, which requires 70% more food to be produced while using 20% less land and 25% less water available for agriculture. Therefore, the agriculture industry needs environmentally responsible solutions to irrigation to prevent a food shortage crisis.

The Growers’ Problem

Although aiming to save water, the application of conventional drip irrigation solutions often creates issues in practice. Issues include leakage caused by poorly connected sprinklers and rotation and buckling, to name a few. As a result, growers have a poor return on investment - they pay for a problematic irrigation system that keeps losing water through gaps and holes, leading to a financially and environmentally harmful result.

Taking Irrigation to the Next Level with FlexNet

To make drip irrigation genuinely sustainable and effective, it is crucial to adopt more efficient products to build the systems in the fields. This is where FlexNet, Netafim’s drip irrigation pipe, comes in.

FlexNet is the industry’s only leak-proof flexible pipe that ensures the integrity and uniformity of drip irrigation systems. In addition, it provides an efficient and environmentally responsible solution to growers with the following features.

Professional Customization
Growers can pre-order welded outlets that are spaced according to their unique needs, so the pipe is ready to use without additional cutting or modification. Professional adjustments on the factory side can ensure the pipe's quality and save time and money for growers in the long term.
Lightweight
FlexNet is approximately 70% lighter than conventional pipes, made from premium polypropylene. Compared with typical lay flat installations, a grower can save 20-30% on labor costs using FlexNet, as fewer people are needed to carry, install or retrieve the pipe. These processes also take a significantly shorter time than using competing products. Moreover, it can be easily packed and requires less storage space, which means savings on storage costs. Designed with convenience, the pipe makes every grower’s life easier.
Durable and Reliable

FlexNet’s durability and reliability give growers peace of mind. In addition to high-quality material, the unique weaving also adds to the strength of FlexNet, making it compact and leak-free. As a result, the pipe is durable even under harsh conditions. In addition, the perfect sealing reduces weed growth and muddy spots throughout its life in the fields, ensuring better connection while keeping the pipe from rotation or buckling.
Environmentally Friendly
Netafim’s advanced research and development strives to reduce water pollution for farmlands worldwide. As water quality becomes increasingly concerning, more growers are paying attention to the chemicals in their irrigation systems. FlexNet contains no Teflon or glue, so the water that runs through the pipe will not carry these to the roots, the soil, or nearby streams.
Locally Assembled
Currently, FlexNet pipe is assembled in the US and can be delivered nationwide within 30 days. However, as the global supply chain bottleneck continues, timely delivery has become a vital factor for success in the next season.
