Such technical fabrics are designed to achieve highly controlled delivery of water and nutrients to root systems, while significantly reducing evaporative loss and water seepage. With its hot and dry climate, the Middle East is an area with huge potential for such a technology.
Technical Absorbents commercial manager Stuart Coomber said, “We have developed and tested a strong portfolio of products for the Middle East market. From liner fabrics for baskets to durable fabrics that can be buried below the grounds surface, our super absorbent technology offers a solution for anyone looking to reduce water usage or have a need to ensure plants don’t dehydrate during transportation. We can supply our technology as a fibre or as a finished fabric.”
GFIA is the most influential event for sustainable agriculture movement, and has created a platform ideally suited to present the latest technologies and services. With sustainability and innovation at its core, GFIA brings together an unparalleled group of potential partners, buyers, resellers, integrators, investors, and collaborators. (GK)
