Creating dignified jobs in Madhya Pradesh

Raheja Solar provides the most affordable and DIY foldable solar dryer for farmers. This enables them to derive greater value from the produce which otherwise goes waste or is sold at very low prices. The solar dryer dehydrates the produce without losing its natural colour, taste, fragrance and nutrients, giving them at least one year of shelf life instead of one week in fresh form. They have installed over 1,850 solar dryers with individual farmers and Farmer Producer Organisations (FPO) across 28 Indian states.

Raheja Solar also provides market linkages for dried products in categories of fruits, flowers and vegetables. Currently, they are sourcing from 40-45 FPOs across different states. They are focusing on strengthening the market linkage vertical (domestic and export) to enable direct impact on farmer livelihoods.
