The challenges the farmers face is a lack of proper handling during harvesting which they spoil easily and hence sell it raw, making cultivation a business unsustainable due to heavy losses. This paper was on effect of utilization of cassava solar drying technology on small-scale cassava farmers’ incomes’ in Teso-South Sub-County of Busia County, Kenya. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analysis was done through SPSS where descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that utilization of cassava solar drying technology (β=0.137, p
