Projected outcomes for farmers who adopt Eco Flash Dryer technology
Typical Cassava Farmer, Central Uganda
"I currently lose almost half my harvest during rainy season. With Eco Flash Dryer, I could dry everything in one day, and the improved quality would allow me to command 60% higher prices. This technology could finally allow me to send my children to a better school."
25-Member Farmer Cooperative
"Our cooperative of 54 farmers could pool resources to invest in two Eco Flash Dryers. This would enable us to go from struggling to meet orders to becoming a preferred supplier for major buyers. The consistent quality and rapid drying would be transformative for all our members."
Creating impact beyond farmer income—protecting Uganda's environment
Every dryer runs on solar power, eliminating dependence on fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 2 tonnes CO₂ per farmer annually.
Cassava peels that would normally be discarded become biomass fuel for backup heating. Every part of the cassava plant serves a purpose in our circular system.
By eliminating the need for wood-fired traditional drying, we help preserve Uganda's forests. Each dryer saves approximately 1.5 tonnes of firewood annually.
A detailed look at how Eco Flash Dryer improves farmer profitability
Traditional drying: Farmers lose 30-40% of harvest to spoilage, mold, and weather damage.
With Eco Flash Dryer: Losses drop to less than 5%, preserving more product for sale.
Financial Impact: Extra UGX 800,000 - 1,200,000 per harvest season per farmer
Traditional sun-dried cassava: Often discolored, contaminated, and inconsistent—fetches lower market prices.
Flash-dried cassava: Clean, white, uniform quality that meets premium buyer standards.
Financial Impact: 30-40% price premium for superior quality dried cassava
Traditional fuel-based drying: High costs for charcoal, firewood, or electricity.
Solar-powered flash drying: Free energy from the sun with biomass backup from waste peels.
Financial Impact: Saves UGX 400,000 - 600,000 annually in energy costs
Beyond individual farmers—strengthening entire communities
Higher farmer income means more families can afford school fees, uniforms, and supplies for their children.
Many cassava farmers are women. Fast drying reduces labor time, giving women more time for other activities and income sources.
Preserved cassava can be stored for months, providing food security during lean seasons and market fluctuations.
Shared dryers strengthen farmer cooperatives, improving collective bargaining power and market access.
