SOLAR DRYERS
Maximizing Food Preservation: How OMY Solar Dryers Support Namibian Farmers
“We used to lose half our harvest before we could even get it to market,” says Joseph, a small-scale farmer near Rundu. “Now, with the solar dryer, my wife and I dry our mangoes and sell them later. It’s no longer a race against time.”
For many Namibian farmers, post-harvest losses are a painful reality. Without proper storage or preservation, fruits and vegetables spoil quickly—especially during peak harvest season. That’s where Rural Power Solutions CC steps in with a simple but powerful innovation: the OMY Solar Dryer.
Why Use Solar Dryers?
🌽 Preserves fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even meat
🌞 No electricity needed – powered entirely by the sun
💼 Adds value – dried products can be stored and sold later
♻ Reduces food waste – less spoilage, more security
💰 Boosts income – creates new market opportunities
Our OMY Solar Dryer is designed for smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and youth-led agro-initiatives, even in remote areas where access to electricity is limited or nonexistent.
Helping Farmers Take Control
Solar dryers do more than just preserve food, they create possibilities. They help families save what they grow, launch small agro-businesses, and strengthen food security.
For rural women and youth, they’re a stepping stone toward independence and resilience in a changing climate and economy.
