πŸ’‘ WHY COMMERCIAL SOLAR DRYING?

Instead of depending entirely on open-sun drying, an enclosed solar dryer provides a more controlled processing environment and helps protect produce from dust, insects, rain and outdoor contamination.

It can support:

βœ” Hygienic processing
βœ” Controlled airflow
βœ” Better post-harvest handling
βœ” Agricultural value addition
βœ” Renewable-energy-based drying
βœ” Commercial and bulk processing
βœ” Product diversification

Tamil Nadu has already promoted solar-dryer technology for agricultural produce, while TNAU has also developed and documented forced-convection and mobile solar-dryer technologies.
