Producing solar-dried fruit and vegetables for micro and small-scale rural enterprise development: business profitability

The preservation of fruit and vegetables by simply sun drying is practised widely throughout arid and semi-arid regions, for example in Uganda. The use of low-cost solar drying technologies can significantly improve product quality. This provides practical opportunities for developing small-scale enterprise, particularly in rural areas, and creates employment for women's groups. This document highlights the need to make a rigorous cost-accounting methodology.
