dc.description.abstractIndia's diverse agricultural landscape features an extensive cultivation of plantation and spice crops, contributing significantly to the country's agricultural economy. One crucial aspect of post-harvest handling is the drying of these crops, a practice deeply intertwined with traditional knowledge and modern techniques. This abstract provides a concise overview of the methods, challenges, and innovations related to plantation and spice crops drying in India. The drying process plays a pivotal role in preserving the quality, flavor, and aroma of spice crops, such as cardamom, black pepper, and cinnamon, as well as plantation crops like tea and coffee. Traditional sun-drying and shade-drying techniques have been practiced for centuries, and their significance persists today. However, to meet increasing demands and adapt to changing climate conditions, modern technologies and innovative approaches, including solar dryers and mechanical drying methods, are becoming more prevalent. This abstract explores the regional variations in drying practices across India, highlighting the influence of climatic conditions and cultural traditions. It also addresses challenges faced in the drying process, including issues related to consistency, energy efficiency, and maintaining product quality. Understanding the nuances of plantation and spice crops drying in India is essential for sustainable agricultural practices, economic growth, and global competitiveness. This abstract provides a glimpse into the multifaceted world of drying techniques, presenting opportunities for further research, collaboration, and advancements in this vital aspect of agriculture.en_US
