The Baby Buffalo
The Baby Buffalo is a high performing pressure pump that provides immediate, effortless irrigation.
In a country where 70% of the population depends on agriculture, improvements in farming technology and techniques - and the credit to access them - are vital to improving living conditions and ending poverty.
Baby Buffalo is priced at $35USD, has a suction depth: 25 feet and pumps 900 Gal/hour. It can push water up to a storage basket for later use, or attach directly to a sprinkler hose for immediate, effortless irrigation.
Made of durability tested, mostly plastic parts that can be replaced cheaply within minutes, and with a unique geometry that make treadling lighter and easier, the Baby Buffalo is an attractive, long-lasting option.
The Baby Buffalo is part of a series of Proximity irrigation products that help Myanmar farmers earn an average of $200 more per season. That’s a 30% increase in annual income, and it’s helping put food on the table, keep kids in school and set families up for a brighter, easier future.
