Results of an initial survey for the Belize Commercialization of Alternative Crops Project of the prospects for irrigated fruit and vegetable farming in Orange Walk and Corozal Districts are reported. General investigation of natural rainfall, local irrigation experience and expertise, water sources, and water contamination found good prospects for irrigation, given the availability of secure project sites. A total of 25 farmers were selected for participation in the project; water samples were tested for pH, salinity, and iron content; and 12 potential crops were identified (both crops and selection criteria are noted). Several recommended irrigation methods are discussed, although furrow irrigation is suggested for the majority of farmers; other recommendations concern irrigation management, personnel and training, and agronomic practices. The cost of recommended equipment is estimated (a bill of quantities is appended), and factors which may affect the future expansion of irrigated acreage (e.g., competition to the project, water sources, finance) are addressed in a final section.
