This guide is designed primarily for people wishing to set up food drying projects. It provides the reader with the prior information and tools necessary for starting such a business. It will also be of interest to project partners who wish to develop a better understanding of the support that they can give to this sector.

It has four separate but complementary chapters: The first chapter sets out the general context when creating a small-scale food drying business; chapter 2 provides a methodological account of the procedures for setting up a project. It covers market identification, technical choices, quality processes and economic analysis; chapter 3 covers the different markets for small-scale drying businesses, including technical notes on the main dryers available; the final chapter examines avenues for improving the profitability of a drying business and adapting dryers to suit different businesses.
