India based Advanced Biofuel Center 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. ABC’s arm Moringa India has analysed the Present and future dynamics of Global Moringa Market. The main findings of the report shall be presented to the attendees of 4th Global Moringa meet being organised by ABC on Moringa Production and Application on 24-25 September at Jaipur in India

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.

India is the most advanced supplier of Moringa, but African and American countries are developing their production. There has also been extensive research on Moringa cultivation in India. Given its significant health and nutritional benefits, Moringa has the potential not only for as a health food supplement but also as a nutritional supplement in the fight against malnutrition. In addition, countries like USA and EU have developed a standard for regulating Moringa Products. In order to enter Western Hemisphere health food markets, it is important for any Moringa products to pass food regulations and quality control for Western markets. The global standardization of Moringa Products is attracting more consumer demand for the product.

This has lead to grow the demand which led to grow a new multi-billion industry. The world food and  nutritional supplements companies are predicting that the Moringa from a soil to superfood phenomenon shall acquire more than 10% share of the industry in coming years, while companies in the cosmetics field are expecting its

enthusiastic embrace within their industry. Present volume of trade of Moringa Products in international market is not enough to to qualify it as a commodity on the

Global market, Today Moringa Market is estimated more than US$ 4 billion, which expected to cross US$ 7 billion by 2020 @ 9 percent per annum

The most traded , talked and used product is moringa leaf powder and many companies have made their fortunes on it. Apart from moringa leaf powder, one most attractive, prospective  segment of moringa business is now moringa oil

Moringa  oleifera  cultivation  and consumption of various Parts  of this crop like leaves and pods,  seeds and oil, enhances the nutritional status of human being. But worldwide consumption of Moringa oil has been rising steadily for decades, especially since consumers have become informed about the benefits of Moringa-inspired diets. Swapping Moringa oil for butter is widely recognized as a way to make various Cosmetic application; the oil has no cholesterol, is high in monounsaturated fat, and contains antioxidants. Moringa oil also beats other traditional cooking oils  on many of those points, and in this regard, too: The oil extracted from moringa seeds has good physicochemical properties in such a way that no additional processing operations methods will be needed for the oil. Moringa oleifera oil is edible and closely resembles to olive oil in fatty acids composition. The oil has good quantity of oleic acid and therefore it can be used for frying and other food purposes. The functional properties and nutritional importance of moringa seed oil make it a better choice to be another monounsaturated fatty acid oil source for healthy

Therefore, having regards, to the demand and retail prices of some Moringa oils in the global Market,  the experts at Advanced Biofuel Centre (ABC) sensed that there is a fortune to be made easily with formulation of a solid business plan around the Moringa oil segment

The ABC has made significant progress on its work with Moringa Oleifera, a multi-dimension tree that bears high value oilseeds. with development of  a highly productive perennial variety of the plant and a set of best practices that will enable high oil yields.

The world recognized variety of Moringa PKM1 is an annual variety and there was no established variety for perennial moringa. Just to overcome the situation and evolve a new variety of superior genotype with high oil yield, ABC’s Moringa experts was engaged in finding out some perennial type high yielding genotype.The organization’s research team started the process in 2008 and identified and collected 42 high-yielding Moringa Oleifera candidates and evaluated genetic association and variability in seed and growth characteristics in order to develop improved varieties. The ABC team’s Moringa Oleifera work has resulted in evolution of new variety through scientific selection that will enable highly productive plantations of the crop to be grown.

The new moringa variety has named as MOMAX3: MARU-MORINGA as maru represent the desert and our new moringa needs low inputs.

Characteristics of Maru Moringa: better uniformity, improved self-branching, early flowering and higher productivity. while focusing  on further understanding the unique properties of the plant that can be manipulated to coax it to reach its fullest potential. This work also address horticultural practices, agronomics and sustainability.

To get the required yield, to get the plant to grow and understand its productivity proprietary , the ABC experts working on the Moringa Oleifera plantation have developed the best method of cultivating these plants, which require the lowest possible investment of money, labor and materials.

The ABC aims to combine its research and business prospects to showcase the Growing and harvesting of world’s most oil yielding MOMAX3 Moringa tree . The Global Moringa Meet shall be noteworthy for fostering a dialogue between scientists and Moringa producers/ prospective growers so scientists could learn about problems to consider during future research, and producers could learn how and why to increase yield potential of Moringa seed and oil in order to capture a section of the lucrative functional food market in the USA/EU/Worldwide.

The coming rise of pure, premium, Worldwide Moringa oil market is going to happen soon and just to educate and learn Moringa farming, Moringa culture, cultivar selection and harvesting, you are invited to attend 4th Global Moringa Meet 2016
