Solar Dryers: Adding Value to Farm Produce

Post-harvest loss remains a major challenge for smallholder farmers, especially in perishable crops. Solar dryers offer a sustainable solution—helping farmers reduce spoilage, improve shelf life, and access new income streams through value-added products like dried fruits, vegetables, and spices.

Essmart’s grassroots network helps build awareness, trust, and demand for such clean-tech innovations. For investors, suppliers, and manufacturers, we offer a clear path to scale solar dryers in rural markets—backed by on-ground marketing, demonstrations, and after-sales support that ensures uptake and impact.

Work with us to scale solar dryers that cut post-harvest losses, add income streams for FPOs, and enable climate-smart value addition at the farm level.
