Here is a nice story that shows how easy it is to establish an operating fruit and vegetable drying business.
Menar Meebed of Egypt, has used a commercially available solar dryer and a simple Internet blog to set up a business selling dried fruit and vegetables. Her product is of a higher quality than the traditional products because of the fruit she selects and the fact that the solar dryer reduces the drying time.
The commercial success of the business of course depends on how well she sources her produce, whether the market demand for her product is big enough and how she manages the business but the basis is in place.

Some of you maybe remember the old SAFPP site which is shown above. I am now finished working at the CSIR and one of the things I intend doing is establishing a web based information source for the food processing community in Africa.
I have many ideas for things that I think could be useful, which I would like to try. But I need feedback to be sure I am doing useful things so please email me with comments, criticisms and suggestions.
Its going to be informal and constantly changing, so no “under construction” messages and maybe some “not perfect” English, but hopefully useful information.
