An International Development Research Centre(IRDC) Project. "Drying is a preservation process that prevents the deterioration of perishable crops and allows for handling, transport, and storage of food products for sale outside the community where they are grown. Researchers at Chiang Mai University in northeastern Thailand have adapted drying technologies to help expand the markets for fruits and vegetables. For individual farmers, a cabinet-type tray dryer was designed with a capacity of 100 kg. Warm air is produced by a wood-fired furnace and a natural thermal draft moves the air throughout the unit. This dryer has been tested and accepted by the longan farmers who have tried it, and is suitable in those areas where sufficient fuelwood is available". 1, record 4, English, - Multi%2Dcrop%20Dryers

Un projet du Centre de recherches pour le développement international (CRDI). «Le séchage est un moyen de conservation qui prévient la détérioration des produits agricoles périssables et en permet la manutention, le transport et l'entreposage avant la mise en vente à l'extérieur de la communauté. Des chercheurs de l'Université Chiang Mai dans le nord-est de la Thaïlande ont perfectionné les techniques de séchage afin d'accroître le marché des fruits et légumes. Pour les petits agriculteurs, on a mis au point un séchoir à plateaux en forme d'armoire d'une capacité de 100 kg. Une fournaise à bois y produit de l'air chaud et un courant thermique naturel mobilise l'air dans l'unité. On a testé le séchoir et on l'a utilisé dans les plantations de longanes; les fermiers l'ont dès lors adopté. Le procédé convient là où il y a suffisamment de bois de chauffe.» 1, record 4, French, - Des%20s%C3%A9choirs%20polyvalents
