Revolutionizing Cassava Drying in Uganda

Solar-powered, eco-friendly dryer that cuts post-harvest losses by 45% and boosts farmer income

Why Flash Drying Matters

Addressing Uganda's critical cassava post-harvest challenge

The Problem

Ugandan farmers lose 25–40% of cassava within 2–3 days after harvest. Slow, weather-dependent sun drying causes quality loss and income erosion.

Problem Details

  • 25–40% spoilage (mold, fermentation, contamination)
  • Sun drying takes 1-3 weeks
  • Quality downgrade lowers market price
  • Labour intensive & inefficient use of time
  • Income instability & food security risk

Challenge: Preserve quality before degradation begins

Flash Drying Solution

Solar + biomass hybrid system rapidly removes moisture in controlled conditions—preserving nutrients, color and value

Solution Features

  • Hybrid energy: solar primary + biomass backup
  • Optimized 60–80°C controlled heat window
  • IoT monitoring: temperature, humidity, cycle progress
  • Circular economy: peels reused as fuel

Outcome: Consistent, fast, premium-grade drying

The Impact

Losses shrink, drying accelerates, labour decreases, and farmers unlock premium pricing—strengthening local food security.

Impact Potential

  • Loss reduction to <5% (preserved value)
  • Drying 500% faster (hours vs weeks)
  • 70–100% price premium for quality output
  • Stable year‑round processing (rain resistant)
  • Income uplift 40%+ via volume + quality

Goal: Scale benefits to thousands of farmers
