Crop Guide
A better route from fresh chilli to a premium dried product
Chilli is high in value and sensitive to process conditions. Better preparation and controlled solar airflow can improve consistency while protecting the vibrant appearance buyers expect.
01
Start with a uniform lot
Remove damaged fruit, foreign matter and over-ripe pieces before washing. Similar size and maturity help the batch dry at a more consistent rate.
02
Protect colour and hygiene
Drying inside an enclosure reduces contamination and direct exposure. Air temperature should remain appropriate for the variety and desired end product rather than simply being as hot as possible.
03
Know the finish point
Drying time changes with loading, weather, airflow and incoming moisture. A repeatable quality process uses moisture checks and cooling before sealed packing.
