Apricot Drying
Success Stories
Ladakh produces 8,000 tonnes of one of the world’s most exquisite varieties of apricots every year, and farmers have a short summer to harvest and process them. Furthermore, traditional open-air drying is susceptible to insect infestations and adverse weather conditions. Stand-alone Solar Dryers, installed by us on behalf of the Department of Horticulture, Ladakh, assist in drying apricots in the remote locations of this barren landscape
