Review of solar dryers for agricultural products in Asia and Africa: An innovation landscape approach
Summary. Solar dryers offer cost-effective, renewable technology for preserving agricultural products across Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. This review examines different solar dryer types, their effects on product quality, and their economic, environmental, and social impacts. The paper identifies financial, external, and structural factors that determine whether farmers adopt and scale these technologies in specific Asian and African countries.
