Solar Green House Dryer (GHD)
Solar Green House Dryer (GHD) - A dehydration system of agro-products to mitigate post-harvest losses & improve earning capabilities of small farmers
A solar greenhouse dryer (GHD) based business ecosystem for efficient and sustainable dehydration of agro-products.
The GHD based ecosystem is an efficient, decentralized, cost-effective and sustainable solution for reduction of post-harvest losses in agricultural commodities, reducing wastage of farm produce through dehydration. The core of the efficiency of Solar GHD unit is derived from polycarbonate raisins that are converted into UV coated sheets to construct a parabolic shaped greenhouse dryer. The business model of the GHD Ecosystem is created on the foundation of a consortium approach, solution marketing and market linkage for different agro-commodities with a special focus on exports to realize improved earning capabilities for small and marginal farmers. It contributes towards Government of India’s mission of ‘doubling farmers’ income by 2022’
