Dehydration adds worth to fresh vegetables and fruits by eliminating water, reducing their weight, and increasing the time of usability. It also opens a window for the farmers to sell their surplus produce to local and international markets that would otherwise be wasted due to harsh weather conditions. Drying lessens the burden and quantity of the product, making it easy to keep and use. This will finally lower the cost of storing, packaging, and transportation.
