Natural Solar Dryers in Kenya: Affordable Approach for Preservation
Our Natural solar dryers in Kenya expose the agricultural products to direct but controlled heat from the sun. The sunlight penetrates through the light diffusing greenhouse polythene cover that covers the greenhouse structure.
Vegetables and fruits such as tomato, capsicum, leafy greens, kales, and meat need preservation as they are perishable. Farmers in Kenya experience 30 % loss on their harvest because of insufficient and ineffective drying conditions.
Why Solar Dryers are Essential for Every Grower
Natural Solar dryers use solar energy to dry food products, limiting humidity which often cause fungal infections. Traditional open drying on the sun seems cheaper but is ineffective and prone to losses. First, it may cause crop contamination because your products are in contact with dust, insects, bacteria and soil.
Additionally, it subjects products to inconsistent hot and humid conditions which slows the drying process and leads to fermentation or bad taste.
>Natural solar dryers in Kenya are designed to completely prevent humid conditions and thus improving taste, drying duration and efficiency.
Natural Dryers for Rural Farmers
Natural Solar dryers in Kenya are ideal for both small scale and large-scale growers, especially those based in rural areas. Rural farmers face challenges such as lack of electricity access, poor access to the markets causes their harvests to go bad. Natural Solar dryers can help them preserve their products at zero expenses as they look for markets.
