Every year Kenyan trees carry tons of fruits. During the months of September   to March, plums, Apples, Mangos oranges pears and persimmons are produced by almost all homesteads.

These trees carry a lot of fruits, far too much to be consumed during this period or to be preserved to be consumed later in the year. Due to the perishability of these fruits thousands of tons of these fruits go to waste. So the process of dehydration is a good solution to deal with these big amounts of fruit. Combined juice production and with canning a lot of otherwise wasted fruits can be saved and consumed at the appropriate time.

The dried fruits market has bright future, with steady development. Success in the market depends on the industry's capacity to include sustainable practices, adjust to shifting consumer tastes, and carry on with innovation.
