How much irrigated land does Guatemala have and what does the National Irrigation Policy propose?

Land with irrigation potential totals 3.9 million ha (50% of it high and medium potential), but only ~460,000 ha (≈12% of the potential) are actually irrigated (National Irrigation Policy 2024-2033). The target is 45,000 new hectares in the extended dry corridor, the south coast and the north; MAGA estimated ~Q3,000 million and 96 potential sites without pre-investment studies. Reported progress: 700 ha handed over in Zacapa on 25 September 2024. The National Irrigation Plan was launched in 2018 to counter the prolonged mid-summer dry spell.
