Uganda food and crops drying characterisation for automation of a Day-Night solar dryer

This project seeks to characterize and automate solar drying processes for mango, beef, and cassava. By integrating sensors and microcontrollers, the dryer will automatically detect and maintain optimal moisture content, ensuring high-quality products with longer shelf life. The innovation supports Uganda’s Vision 2040 and NDP III by reducing food losses, boosting farmer incomes, and enhancing food security.
