35 Solar Dryers Boost Apricot Processing in Ladakh
Solar Solutions
Problem
Traditional open-air apricot drying is slow, weather-dependent, and vulnerable to insect infestations, limiting quality and productivity in the short harvesting window.
Solution
By installing 35 stand-alone Solar Dryers on behalf of the Department of Horticulture, Ladakh, we enabled hygienic, rapid, and energy-efficient apricot drying, improving product quality and supporting farmers in remote high-altitude locations.
