We dry turmeric and chilli for 400 member farmers now without ever watching the sky. The tunnel dryer paid for itself in one season, and the colour we retain has lifted our market price.

Rudra Solar Energy supplies fuel-free solar dryers across Nagaland and trains communities to dry king chilli, ginger and hill produce while preserving colour and pungency.
Nagaland is known for the fiery Raja Mircha, or king chilli, and for a largely organic, hill-farmed food culture. Drying is woven into how communities here preserve and trade what they grow.
We work with partners in Nagaland to bring cleaner, more reliable solar drying to king chilli, spices and a range of indigenous produce.
Protecting the king chilli
King chilli, other chillies, ginger, bamboo shoot and seasonal produce all benefit from clean, enclosed drying that keeps colour and pungency intact. For a crop as prized — and as perishable — as Raja Mircha, controlled drying preserves both the heat and the market value that make it special.
Training that stays
Our work in Nagaland has included hands-on training so communities can run and maintain their dryers independently. The systems need no fuel, suit the hill climate, and are backed by support that does not disappear after installation.
