Innovative, renewable energy-powered food processing and storage solutions for smallholder farmers, women entrepreneurs, food processors, and industrial clients across Nigeria and West Africa. Powered by advanced Solar Black-Body (BB) dehydration technology and multi-fuel flexibility (solar, gas, electric, charcoal) β these systems reduce post-harvest losses, extend shelf life, and add measurable value to farm produce.
Technology Overview
- Solar Black-Body (BB) Dehydration: Leverages advanced black-body radiation principles to maximise solar heat absorption and achieve efficient, even drying at lower running costs
- Multi-Fuel Options: Each system supports solar, gas, electric, and charcoal fuel sources β ensuring uninterrupted operation regardless of energy availability
- Turnkey Solution: Equipment + installation + training + ongoing technical support included
- Scalable: Systems are available from household scale (50 kg/day) up to industrial scale (500 kg+/day)
What Can Be Processed
- Fish and seafood
- Meat and poultry
- Fruits (mango, banana, pineapple, tomatoes)
- Vegetables (pepper, okra, leafy greens)
- Grains and legumes
- Herbs and spices
Measurable Outcomes
- Post-harvest waste reduced by up to 30%
- Product shelf life extended by up to 50%
- Energy-efficient operation β lower running costs vs. conventional drying
- Improved product quality and market value
- Higher profitability for food producers and SMEs
Who This Is For
- Smallholder farmers preserving harvests and reducing on-farm losses
- Women entrepreneurs in food processing and value addition
- Food startups and SMEs scaling production and reducing waste
- Industrial clients requiring high-capacity, reliable dehydration lines
- NGOs and development organisations deploying food security interventions
UN SDG Alignment
- SDG 2 β Zero Hunger: reducing post-harvest food losses and improving food security
- SDG 7 β Affordable & Clean Energy: solar-powered operation reduces fossil fuel dependence
- SDG 8 β Decent Work & Economic Growth: enabling food entrepreneurs and farmers to increase income
- SDG 12 β Responsible Consumption: reducing waste throughout the food supply chain
- SDG 13 β Climate Action: energy-efficient design reduces carbon footprint of food processing
