The DEHYTRAYTM, is a simple novel solar crop drying device that requires minimal setup time, is easy to sanitize, portable, dehydrates several foods (fruits, vegetables, cereals, etc.), meets high ergonomic norms, and achieves faster drying under hygienic conditions than traditional open-sun drying. It provides a simple solution to reduce crop post-harvest losses incurred from spoilage of improperly dried crops, which results in huge financial losses estimated globally at over $20 USD billion annually. This is a major global food security issue for the 525 million smallholder farmers who produce over 80% of the food in Asia and Africa.
