Which Moringa Production Model Would Best Suite Your Business Needs?

19 Jul, 2022

Global Moringa business has evolved into a highly diverse sector, with operations that range from small subsistence farms to large multinational holdings. Farmers’ products are sold fresh in local markets, but also across the Roundtable through sophisticated and modern value chains. Beyond the Moringa's traditional role in folk food and medicines now it has gained the status of superfood and health supplements and also biofuel feedstock.

India based Advanced Biofuel Center (ABC) has been working on Moringa since last decade with a focus on understanding the unique properties of the plant that can be manipulated to coax it to reach its fullest potential addressing horticultural practices, agronomics and sustainability issues.

Moringa trees, from which Moringa Products are produced, are originated from India, and now found in African, Asian, and American countries such as Ghana, Philippines, and Haiti. These Products are commercially manufactured by processing different parts of Moringa such as leaves, Seeds and other parts. Common uses of Moringa Products are in Food & Health supplement, pharmaceuticals, cooking, and cosmetics. The different product types of Moringa Products are virgin Moringa Products, organic Moringa Products and other miscellaneous, depending on the method of growing, harvesting and processing/extraction.

The increasing demand for Moringa Products in developing countries like India, China and Brazil is one of the primary drivers. This is owing to the strong economic growth and increasing awareness of health benefits among consumers, coupled with a greater exposure to the western lifestyle, there seems to be an upward trend in consumption of Moringa Products. About Moringa Market

Moringa Market

What types of Moringa food and health supplements are people buying, and why?

Moringa market has gained more exposure owing to rising awareness and concern among consumers regarding health benefits. And Covid-19 crisis has given boost to moringa industry for health enhancement and economic empowerment.  The Moringa is all set to help in achieving Sustainable Development Goals, Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere, Goal 2. End hunger achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture and Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages by 2030.

People continue to reach for more moringa products than ever before. Looking at Immunity/Sports/Energy/Weight/ Diabetes/healthy aging/Mood & brain health etc., we now see the growth that the 2+ year of COVID-19 pandemic has taken the moringa market to more than $10 billion - a market about $1.5 billion larger than 2020.

The consumers are now more aware of the ingredients in the products they put on and, in their bodies, but also of the social and environmental impacts of companies that manufacture those products.

Moringa project developers/entrepreneurs who want to have a slice of the 10- 20 billion USD market must adopt and implement appropriate Moringa production strategies that will lead to improved Yields as well as better quality performance. Consistency is important for long term farm profitability and that can be ensured only with enhanced Moringa cultivars and advanced agronomy

While this growth is of course welcome to Moringa producers, it carries challenges. How do producers increase their yield while keeping costs under control and still ensuring top quality product? What about increasingly erratic global weather patterns?

As the saying goes, ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ and the Moringa industry is certainly tackling the challenges it faces with some exciting innovation.

Moringa Production Model

As you are probably aware, for your Moringa project(s) to succeed it is imperative to discover the right Moringa production model for your unique business needs. I know this is easier said than done as deciding on which model to adopt is tied to a variety of seed selection, land identification, agro-climatic, social, economic, legal and geographical factors.

Traditional Moringa farming methods are no longer enough for today’s farmers. To be competitive today, Moringa growers need more from their land and their crop. Higher levels of production require more intensive farming, but traditional methods are very difficult to scale cost-effectively and sustainably.

ABC clearly demonstrates the three models of an Moringa farm:

  1. Specialised trees project for oil production, drip irrigated, spaced suitably with semi automation
  2. Specialised super high-density plantation for leaf harvesting, drip irrigation, managed manually or with semi automation
  3. Low specialisation, species competing, natural water supply, manual management for fodder production
  4. Couple oil crop model for biodiesel production

In order to be competitive, Moringa producers are increasingly adopting the first and second model, having identified a pressing need for both a scientific approach to planting and semi-automated management. With seeds, support and services of ABC, growers are creating/ extending their Moringa acres and business in a very organised way, and finding new uses for technology. The growers are also looking at different varieties of Moringa tree that could potentially deliver a greater yield. However, there may be implications with these varieties, such as the amount of water required to grow them, which also have to be taken into account.

Proactively gearing up for start of moringa projects

Project management is a science - it is not as easy as "just setting a deadline". Many social, technical, and collectively concepts impact your projects.

Knowledge & expertise build Failsafe Moringa Farm and Business

 

The Moringa Knowledge

ABC provides cutting edge advice and tools to Moringa-Entrepreneurs to develop a Moringa business model that "embraces sustainable agriculture and technical, knowledge sharing with grower

To Improve productivity, maximize crop yields/improve farm profitability, manage fertilizer and irrigation application, and keep costs under control you need to acquire or employ best expertise and state-of-the-art Moringa farming technology, you need adequate knowledge and applied crop consulting.

The knowledge will help not only to maximize yields, but also improve the management and sustainability. Knowledge can help you to optimize and improve the quality of harvest and value addition. To enable Moringa project developer to have enhanced knowledge, we have introduced 3 important international programmes on Moringa Production and application

1. Global Moringa Meet: Global Moringa Meet is the premier destination for Moringa growers, producers and professionals interested in the latest Moringa production technology, news, and policy.

2. Moringa Farm Stay (Moringa Farm Internship Program): Moringa Farm Stay (Moringa Farm Internship Program is sort of like a live, interactive slideshow of agriculture making of Moringa from "Soil to Superfood" that touches all the participant's senses.

3. Consult with experts: online/ Mobile consultancy for setting Moringa Projects

Using everything the Moringa gives.

Every part of the tree – leaves, seeds, flowers, pods is utilized as food, while stems, roots, bark, and gum are used for the manufacturing of medicines, which in turn, makes the entire tree usable. As a result, the global Moringa market is anticipated to gravitate towards an impressive valuation.

An under explored revenue stream for Moringa is the utilization of the byproducts and the rest of the plant. The nutritious Moringa leaf leftover, power residues, pod shell, seeds hull to be used in best manner. The trees store carbon and are transformed into electricity at the end of their lives, the shells become livestock bedding, and the hulls are used as dairy feed. Nothing goes to waste. The seedcake shows reasonable biogas yields and is often abundantly available at low cost. The return from biogas can in some cases be much higher than the income from the biofuel produced from Moringa. Press cake has got tremendous uses which has amazing profitability.  

The Moringa farmers and processors have always taken responsibility for these coproducts—the leaf-residues, powder-residues, hulls, shells, and press cakes—getting the most out of the resources used to grow Moringa and ensuring they are put to beneficial use rather than sent to landfill.

With changing markets for these materials, we at ABC are spurring innovation for higher value and more sustainable uses. In fact, by 2025, we commit to achieve zero waste in our plantation by putting everything we grow to optimal use. Given that Moringa coproducts are widely utilized already, progress toward this goal focuses on reducing our environmental footprint and adding value economically and environmentally.

Low carbon footprint

Moringa capture and store a significant amount of carbon over its life cycle, and using the trees’ hulls, shells and woody biomass is key to reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact.  One ha Moringa plantation offset 30 tons of CO2. 1,000 litres of biodiesel production from the Moringa Oleifera seeds would be -14,188 kg of CO2 equivalent. Considering the inherent properties of trees and traditional uses of Moringa coproducts, current Moringa farming practices are offsetting about 90% of their carbon emissions.  With further production improvements and policy changes, the Moringa community could eventually be carbon neutral, or even carbon negative.
