Irrigation Agency Subsidy Zone (Taiwan only)
The Irrigation Agency’s pipe-irrigation subsidy covers drip, sprinkler, micro-sprinkler and perforated pipe, plus pumps, storage tanks and irrigation controllers. Up to NT$500,000 per person per year; irrigation inside greenhouses qualifies too.
Each item can be claimed from only one agency. For greenhouse structures and climate-control equipment, see the AFA Subsidy Zone.
