Product information sheetSince 1995 FADECO TRADING CO. LTD. has worked in Karagwe district, building small solar dryers designed to dry fruits, vegetables and spices without the use of chemical nor added sugars. We have concentrated our work in the rural areas where there is assured food production but with pronounced crop loss due to limited food preservation and storage mechanisms; where good quality and pesticide free fruits are plentiful. Our solar fruit drying technology is simple enough to be built using local materials and skills and is cheap and easy to maintain. Once running, a solar dryer produces a good source of income for local people. We have to date, set up a solar drying chain among some farmers who now sell their sun dried produce on a fair trade basis. These business not only bring regular cash to their owners, but also bring useful foreign exchange to our country, so helping our nation's reliance on a single export commodity, coffee. RIFT VALLEY FOODS is the brand name for all non traditional export food crops marketed by FADECO TRADING Co. Ltd. These include all Solar dried fruits, vegetable and spices especially chilies; Honey and honey products; Milk products including cheese. RIFT VALLEY FOODS are committed to the development of the Tanzanian economy given the positive economic development and atmosphere. We are also keen to develop solar food processing in other parts of Tanzania with high production of these products, so increasing RIFT VALLEY FOODS' product range.
