AGRIBUSINESS :Drying vegetables increases shelf life to over eight months.

AGRIBUSINESS :Drying vegetables increases shelf life to over eight months. Drying vegetables increases shelf life to over eight months. 

Dried vegetables can last for more than eight months without expiring/spoiling.The inclusion of a solar dryer. into production has increased the shelf-life of vegetables from two days to more than eight months, allowing Kisii County farmer,
 Jared Otundo, sell his vegetables for longer and in  faraway places.  

 Otundo says drying the black night shade and spider flower vegetables has helped him reduce rotting losses to zero.
Unlike fresh vegetables that require disposal within two days, he can hold on until when the market fetches more. 

During rainy seasons, the oversupply of the vegetables lead to low prices. This is his time of accumulating and drying the two varieties and stocking.

 The solar equipment has a special chamber for blowing away moisture. The vegetables lose the moisture, but the colour remains the same. After packaging and sealing in labeled polythene bags, the cargo is less bulky for transporting. source
