PhilMech conducts solar dryer training

A number of women micro entrepreneurs (WMEs) groups now have wider knowledge on the use of multi-commodity solar tunnel dryer (MCSTD) as part of their processing business.

Helen Martinez of the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech) and MCSTD training project leader for WMEs, said the learning session through field exposure/visit with hands-on demo on processing of agri-fishery commodities is regularly conducted by the agency to encourage MCSTD adopters in getting the full benefit of the technology.
