Cameron Highlands

The Cameron Highlands in Malaysia are known for their cool climate and fertile soils, making it an ideal location for growing crops. The region is most famous for its tea fields, but also a variety of other crops is grown in the Cameron Highlands, including strawberries and watermelons. The region experiences frequent rainfall, especially from November to February during the monsoon season. This can lead to periods of heavy rain, making it challenging to rely only on rainwater for irrigation since the water may run off quickly or may not infiltrate properly into the soil.

Watermelon nursery

The Cameron Highlands is one of the districts of the Malaysian peninsula that produces watermelons for nationwide distribution. Watermelon is made up of 90% water, so a steady water supply is very important for growing them. An NPI water tank is helping a watermelon farm facing the challenges of uneven rainfall. The steel tank collects rainwater during the wetter months and stores it for use during dry periods. This ensures that this watermelon nursery always has enough water for (drip) irrigation.

Water tank

The water tank is installed by the watermelon nursery itself, under the supervision and with the help of our Malaysian dealer. With 20 years of established trust in Southeast Asia, our Malaysian dealer is a good partner in the region for installing our water storage systems. Although homebased in the Cameron Highlands, our dealer realises turn key projects for (greenhouse) growers all across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
