🔄 FROM FARM TO MARKET
HARVEST → SORT → PREPARE → SOLAR DRY → GRADE → PROCESS → PACKAGE → MARKET
Solar drying can help farmers and processors develop more organised post-harvest processing and value-addition pathways for suitable products.
For a high-rainfall region such as Dakshina Kannada, the dryer should be selected according to product type, seasonal conditions, fresh input quantity, batch requirement and desired final product rather than simply choosing a machine based on capacity.
