Irrigation in Guatemala dates back to the colonial era, but the most important developments were introduced by multi-national fruit companies in the 1920s where they irrigated up to 22,000 ha. Since 1957, the government of Guatemala has planned and executed 27 major irrigation projects covering about 15,300 ha and 2,800 irrigators. During this same time period, private initiatives irrigated another 36,500 ha of traditional crops such as bananas and sugarcane. Between 1979 and 1990, another 2,489 ha of small scale irrigation projects were developed for non-traditional products. These projects proved to be very efficient and successful as they utilized low-cost spray irrigation methods. In 1990, there were 76,365 ha under irrigation.

  • Irrigation in Guatemala dates back to the colonial era, but the most important developments were introduced by multi-national fruit companies in the 1920s where they irrigated up to 22,000 ha. Since 1957, the government of Guatemala has planned and executed 27 major irrigation projects covering about 15,300 ha and 2,800 irrigators. During this same time period, private initiatives irrigated another 36,500 ha of traditional crops such as bananas and sugarcane. Between 1979 and 1990, another 2,489 ha of small scale irrigation projects were developed for non-traditional products. These projects proved to be very efficient and successful as they utilized low-cost spray irrigation methods. In 1990, there were 76,365 ha under irrigation. During the 1990s, irrigation coverage increased and by 1998, there were 129,803 ha. In 2002, approximately 169,300 ha were under irrigation. (en)
  • El riego en Guatemala es una actividad agrícola que se remonta a la era colonial, pero los desarrollos más importantes para el país fueron introducidos por empresas multinacionales de frutas en la década de 1920, donde irrigaron hasta 22,000 ha. Desde 1957, el gobierno de Guatemala ha planificado y ejecutado 27 proyectos importantes a nivel nacional de riego que cubren alrededor de 15,300 ha y 2,800 regantes. Durante este mismo período, las iniciativas privadas regaron otras 36.500 ha de cultivos tradicionales como el plátano y la caña de azúcar. Entre 1979 y 1990, se desarrollaron otras 2,489 ha de proyectos de riego a pequeña escala para productos no tradicionales. Estos proyectos demostraron ser muy eficientes y exitosos ya que utilizaron métodos de riego por aspersión de bajo costo. En 1990, había 76,365 ha bajo riego. Durante la década de 1990, la cobertura de riego aumentó y en 1998 había 129,803 ha. En 2002, aproximadamente 169,300 ha estaban bajo riego. ​ (es)
