The horticulture department has announced a substantial subsidy, offering a 50% discount on solar-powered drying units for farmers. The initiative aims to make solar dryers more affordable and accessible to the agricultural community.
By using solar dryers, farmers can prevent rapid wilting of vegetables and fruits, thereby extending the produce’s shelf life and reducing post‑harvest losses. The solar‑powered technology provides a sustainable, energy‑efficient method for drying produce.
The discount is intended to encourage widespread adoption of solar drying technology among growers, supporting better preservation of horticultural crops and enhancing overall farm profitability.
