Agriculture sector in India is contributing to Indian economy to around 15 to 20 % when data of last five year is considered. The products cultivated from this sector are mainly affected by the processing for preservation. The developing countries of the world are lacking with facilities in agriculture sector and there are several factors affecting agriculture. In India near about 50% people are directly or indirectly associated with agriculture sector through farming and associated byproduct manufacturing. Agricultural application of solar dryer is used widely in developed countries to preserve the vegetable. The preservation of many products from agriculture is possible with solar dryers. The solar energy is available in India in abundant amount. Use of solar energy for drying the product will be very economic. Authors have presented the design of solar dryer in this paper.

This paper explains about various factors which aretobeconsideringwhile designing solar dryer foragriculture products. It includes the major parts like air pre heater, air duct, and cabinfor keeping agricultural products. Out of these parts of air pre heater is important as solar energy is available in attuned form & we have to concentrate it with help of solar collectors.

Drying crops by solar energy is of great economic importance the world over, especially in India where most of the crops and grain harvests are lost to fungal and microbial attacks. Proper drying could easily prevent these wastages, which enhances storage of crops and grains over long periods. India is blessed with abundant solar energy all the year round. Drying is oneof the important and most energy consuming processes in the food-processing, chemical, printing, fabric dying industries, etc. In farmer level drying is being done on open yards without any good hygienic conditions. Generally thermal energy, maintained between 45 0C to 25 0 C depending on the products and production methods. A conventional fuel like electricity, firewood, diesel, furnace oil, kerosene, etc is producing that energy. The objective of this project is to modify design of a forced convection indirect solar dryer and its performance test on Grapes. The system consists of an air heating section. The solar dryer consists of different components such as solar panel, battery, heating element and blower. The blower is used to passing the hot air to the required place, so that the moisture contents in the place was removed. It offers a better control over drying and the product obtained is of better quality than sun drying. Solar Dryer Can be operated at higher temperature, recommended for deep layer drying.

This paper deals with current practices of drying agricultural products in most of developing nations like India. It also try to coin the concept of utilization of Solar dryer at farm side. In a developing country like India, having the second largest population and agriculture as the source of income to nearly 60 % of the total population, post-harvest and storage loss is a major quandary, which needs to be addressed in due diligence. Many food preservation techniques like cold storage, drying, etc., have been evolved out over the years to tackle the above losses. The major constraint is that almost all the technologies are utilizing fossil fuel resources, which are depleting very fast and wise use of these precious resources are preferred for longterm energy sustainability. Therefore, sustainable methods for food preservation are the need of the hour. Solar drying is one of the best choices in this context. The effect of temperature to moisture contents against time and rate of drying are studied & discussed in this paper.
