OUR PRODUCT
A simplified solar drying device made entirely of wood and recyclable materials to hygienically dry and preserve fruits and vegetables.
OUR MARKET
enerMakers target farmers, agro-processing industries, and households as consumers of their product, Luminous.
WHY LUMINOUS?
Around 30% of the produce grown in Ethiopia is wasted due to bad post-harvest management. The team looks to address the problem of wastage, seasonality in agricultural supplies and deficient transport capabilities. At the same time users can now enjoy a new product line with the Luminous dryer creating further market and business opportunities for them.
