Last month, MASHAV's regional agriculture expert conducted a field visit to a family farm in the Caaguazú region of Paraguay, together with a representative of Israeli company "Metzer," to prepare for the installation of a drip irrigation system.

The farm will serve as an open demonstration site for neighboring farmers, agronomists, and technicians, turning applied knowledge into a shared resource for the wider agricultural community.

This work is part of MASHAV's broader engagement in Paraguay's agricultural sector, directly supporting a national priority set by Paraguay's Ministry of Agriculture: strengthening family farming communities as a driver of food security and rural development.
