It is no secret that 2019 has been a challenging year for moringa project developers as far as the question of raising the finance but it has left many prospective moringa project developers filled with certainty about what the future holds. In my mind, one of the Moringa industry’s brightest silver linings is introduction of enhanced Moringa seed variety for leaf farming and for seed oil plantation with different technology and second is the interest and passion of new age young generation. While most segments of agriculture struggle with finding youth who want to remain on the family farm, or become first generation farmers, the Moringa industry doesn’t face this dilemma. Our young people want to be in the business. In an unpredictable economy with long hours and profits reliant on the whims of Mother Nature, young Moringa growers are full of enthusiasm for shepherding the industry into the future.

These New developers/growers are eager to not only play pivotal roles in their Moringa businesses but to become leaders within the industry. In fact, we’ve seen such overwhelming interest from many countries across the globe, some of them are Australia, South Africa, Zambia, Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Tanzania, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia,PNG and many more. We at Advanced Biofuel Center (ABC) have created tools and techniques, which guides and recommends activities to build community and learning opportunities that are relevant to advancing in the industry.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

Overwhelmingly, the ABC is bringing fresh ideas and new technology to establish Moringa farm and orchards for production of high-quality leaves or high yielding high-oleic seed oil Production and attempting the impossible and achieving it. New Moringa varieties launched by ABC are making difference.

Untried efforts and support of scientists working at ABC, the Moringa industry is implementing cutting edge technology throughout the production chain. All of this represents positive implications for food safety. occurrence happening, through today’s technology — only to get better — we are equipped with resources that can quickly recognize and implemented.

Major Achievements in Moringa Breeding & Future Challenges

Moringa seed variety for leaf harvesting

ABC reported its progress with World’s First Elite Moringa Cultivar for Leaf Production. ABC has unveiled the Moringa Health & Food industry’s most productive seeds, which promise to deliver four times the yield of the industry average.

Marking the successful completion of 11-year journey of research, trials and experiments, ABC announced that it has developed the Moringa industry’s most productive seeds for leaf Harvesting and named it as “MOL’E” Moringa, the seeds are being hailed by ABC as a breakthrough in Moringa Health & Food productivity that could yield 30 tons of superior quality dry Moringa leaves per ha per year in a Super High Densitive Moringa Farming System for leaf harvesting.

MOMAX 3 is the first elite cultivar developed through the ABC’s MOMAX Moringa Optimization Platform known as Moringa India and now MOL’E is the second cultivar developed specifically for Moringa cultivation for leaf purpose. The platform provides growers and plantation developers with access to the highest yielding and most profitable Moringa in the world

The result of 11 years of applied investment and research is reflected in MOL’E& MOMAX3 Moringa cultivar, a suite of enabling technologies and an ambition to transform Moringa into a versatile crop for diverse agricultural and climatic environments

MOMAX3 Moringa Perennial Seeds

MOMAX3 Moringa Seed Variety : the world’s most Popular most Productive Moringa Seed for seed oil

THERE ARE TWO MOST ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS to create a FAILSAFE Moringa Perennial Seed Oil Plantation They are (obvious when you think about it) Superior Cultivar and Enhanced Agronomy Practices.

MASTERING THE ART OF THE SCIENCE

Super High Densitive Moringa Farming System for leaf harvesting

The super highly intensive Moringa farm is a technology for leaf production that Moringa India, ABC has mastered in cooperation with many of its clients, which enables a very notable increase in profitability in comparison to traditional Moringa farms. Farms. Farming unlike mechanics has many variances under the same input environment. Many different methods of establishment, farming and harvesting are possible. Yield is a function of water, nutrients, heat and the age of the plant and other. ABC has specifically developed and designed best different technology for harvesting Moringa leaves and for Moringa Seed Oil with ways to guide towards the right balance of cost, yield, and labour and finally cost per MT

High density MOL’E Moringa seed cultivation for leaf production

MASTERING THE ART OF THE BUSINESS PLANNING

Moringa Value Addition Business Plan @ ABC

One of the most significant mistakes that moringa project developers make is to fail to see the business plan as an important tool and project guide. We have the impression that this formulation of business plan needs in- depth specialists from each field, the ABC being the best has the ability competency and creditability to provide specialty services in this very technical field. When the Business development Division of ABC assists in building your business plan; they are helping you to build your company’s future.

There is an increasing demand of good quality Moringa Products in developed regions of Europe and North America. Countries as Africans and India have not enough output in terms of Moringa production to meet rising worldwide demand. Determined efforts are being made by such countries to increase production by using advance technology in agriculture and production.

Estimates of yields, prices and cost vary greatly, making it difficult for potential growers to make informed investment decision about growing the Moringa. The lack of agronomic data about the oil crop growing makes it impossible to make investment decision on Moringa growing with the confidence and certainty associated with a decision to grow and establish a successful plantation. We identify the Key elements in growing moringa, and their effects examined. And provide accurate information about the crop for potential moringa investors and growers after performing feasibility study.

Starting a value-added business, especially one related to moringa production and distribution, requires considerable planning. Carefully designing a plan for the business, keeping in mind regulatory and business environment conditions, will drastically increase the chances of business success and longevity. Just as a well-planned vacation allows a family to avoid unpleasant surprises and expenses, a well-planned business start-up guard against crucial problems and financial stress

We believe our experience in Moringa Value added projects is marketable and proven with integrity. In many consulting firms, it appears that they are working with feasibility plans and business plans that are not field-tested. With the increased interest in Moringa Super food, many people are trying to market their services in Moringa projects. Many of these individuals may not possess the experience equal to that which we have accumulated. As previously stated, We have the impression that this formulation of business plan need in- depth specialists from each field, the ABC being the best have the ability competency and creditability to provide specialty services in this very technical field.
