Netafim Services

Netafim Services enables you to adopt, implement and operate sustainable precision agriculture in a variety of different models – enabling you to pick the Service Plan that best suits your business.

Netafim Services provides you with the opportunity to leave the full ownership, operation and maintenance of your irrigation system to Netafim. Alternatively you can choose to own your irrigation system, while still leaving the operation and maintenance to Netafim. Read more about our Service Plans.

We offer 3 main Service Plans:

1. IaaS (Irrigation as a Service): your irrigation system is fully owned, operated and maintained by Netafim.
2. Operation & Maintenance: Netafim operates and maintains the irrigation system owned by you.
3. Annual Service Program: a program of technical and agronomic support from our experts. They diagnose improvements and maintenance on your irrigation system, which is owned and operated by you.

There are two main differences between our IaaS and O&M Service Plans:

• Irrigation system ownership: with IaaS the irrigation system watering your crops is fully owned, operated and maintained by Netafim. With the O&M model Netafim operates the irrigation system but you own it.
• Contract lifespan: IaaS involves a longer term contract of c.5-10 years, while O&M has a minimum contract of 3-5 years.

Our O&M (Operation and Maintenance) Service Plan is a comprehensive irrigation system management service – where you get the peace of mind that Netafim is responsible for the complete operation of your system, including the cost of any maintenance.

With ASP (Annual Service Program) you get a programme of technical and agronomic visits from our Netafim experts. These will provide you with a clear guideline for operating your system and will help you maximize the effectiveness of your system and yield. However, ultimately the ownership and operation of your system sits with you.

Netafim Service Plans are well designed for investment firms with agricultural ventures, ag investors and large-scale agribusinesses farming cash crops.

Our ground-breaking IaaS Service Plan is a particularly ideal solution. With IaaS you leave the irrigation aspect of your investment completely to Netafim and without an up-front cost – guaranteeing reliability, the best chance of a strong yield, and a faster return on your investment.

Yes, if you need financing to invest in a precision irrigation system then we can help you organize a financing solution to do that. In fact, with our subsidiaries in over 33 countries, we’re often able to provide more varied financing options than others in the irrigation industry. This could even include financing solutions that don’t require you to start paying instalments until your irrigation system is up and running.

With our IaaS Service Plan there is also no need to invest in an irrigation system at all – it is owned, operated and maintained by Netafim in return for a regular and transparent monthly fee, reducing the need for capital investment.
