Comprehensive field performance data are reported for solar cabinet dryers, with and without crop load, under the low humidity conditions of the local harmattan season. The field data collected provide a frame of reference for similar data on dryer performance gathered under the normal local conditions of high relative humidity. The relative humidity, it is found, plays a most decisive role in the entire drying process.
