This paper presents performance of a parabolic greenhouse solar dryer equipped with a rice husk burning  systemfor a production  of  high  quality  dried banana. The  rice  husk  burning  systemwas designed to provide flue gas free clean heated air to supplement heat to parabolicgreenhouse dryer for the production of high quality dried bananas during cloudy and rainy days. Maximum effectiveness of the rice husk burning systemwas 87.7%.The parabolic greenhouse solar dryer equipped with therice husk burning systemwas capable ofmaintainingsufficientdrying temperature to produce high quality dried product. Therewas a considerable reduction in drying time for drying of banana in the greenhouse solar dryer equipped with therice husk burning systemascompared tonaturalsun drying and the dried banana was a high quality dried product. The drying efficiency of theparabolic greenhouse solar dryer equipped with a rice husk burning systemwas 12.6%and the payback period was about 2.2years.
