Portable Moisture Meters In Uganda

What is a Portable Moisture Meter & Why It Matters

A portable moisture meter is a handheld, often battery powered (or low-power) device you can carry around the farm, store, field, wood yard, etc., to measure moisture quickly without needing a full lab or big stationary equipment.

Uses in Uganda include:

• Testing grain moisture when buying / drying / storing (e.g. maize, beans, rice).

• Testing soil moisture for irrigation decisions or during planting.

• Checking wood moisture for carpentry, building, furniture – to avoid warping, mold, shrinkage.

• Checking hay moisture before baling or storing to avoid spoilage or heating.

Because weather (rain, humidity), storage conditions, drying methods are variable in Uganda, having a portable meter saves loss, gives better decisions, and improves profitability.
