Drying Fruits and Vegetables Using Biogas

The dryer runs purely on #biogas. A burner is placed at the bottom that dissipates heat necessary for drying the farm produce.

The heat dehydrates the fruits & vegetables from its moisture thereby increasing its shelf life and eliminating:

Post-harvest losses

Increases fruits & vegetables shelf-life

Increased Value addition (dried fruits & vegetables fetch more income)

These simple dryers provides farmers with a means to preserving food during a bumper harvest and selling it in times of scarcity.

Fruits such as

mangoes,

pawpaw,

pineapples,

bananas,

tomatoes

and Vegetables such as

kales,

spinach,

mushroom & spices can be dried in this way.

Farmers can sell the produce at higher prices when they are scarce.

This prevents wastage of perishable goods on the farm.
