Hi- Density Moringa leaf farming for higher productivity …
Due to ever increasing demand for certified organic Moringa leaf powder product in European and UK markets and continuous market promotion by Moringa Malawi , Kuli Kuli ( African entity ) & Organic Moringa India pte ltd etc moringa cultivation has been started in hi- density with 5 lac moringa plants in one Hectare land.
Around 300 MT of fresh biomass per ha is harvested in a year through 9 harvest done at 40 days cycle .
300 MT of fresh biomass ,after separation of stems and petioles provide 100 MT of leaves .This 100 MT of moringa leaves upon processing gives 12.5 MT of moringa leaf powder . At competitive market price of $ 10000 per MT , 12.5 MT moringa leaf powder is sold for Rs .92.50 lac .
However this much income is realisable through vertical integration of operations , both production and marketing by same firm .
Weight reduction & staying fit are the real concern of European people who use moringa leaf powder in curries , soup , stews , salads etc besides using it in the form of tablets , capsules as nutrceuticals .Morning and evening each 1-2 moringa capsules will reduce obesity and folds around hips disappear. Europeans are fast gaining awareness to eat more moringa leaf powder to stay slim.
