Improved chilli drying on green nets enhances product quality by ensuring cleaner, faster, and more uniform drying. Elevating chillies on green nets allows free airflow around the pods, prevents contact with soil and contaminants, and reduces fungal growth and aflatoxin risk. The green net absorbs less heat than black plastic sheets, helping retain the natural red colour and preventing case‑hardening. This simple, low‑cost practice results in brighter, cleaner, and more marketable dried chillies at the farm level.
