If my Grandma can do you can two.

Tray with screen, screen holes two small for dried produce to fall through.

Place off the ground

Set in the sun

Wait till dry, measure moisture as desired.

No Problem. : -- ) Sun is bright in Arizona, why India?

Hi, abimu,

Look out how housewives are drying their washings. Isn't it the opportunity to study of main concepts ? Then you'll be preared for Sun seed's experiments.

I'm supposing not only company either even multinational corporations but any person from over the world could implement this greeny concept for good.

Solar drying is used in the production of tea, a major export item from India and Sri Lanka.

It is also used in the separation of bulk sea salt, for home use and for export.
