Multidimensional Moringa can combat malnutrition while fuelling the future

----- Prospects for profitable sustainability

Moringa oleifera is an essential plant in meeting Global food security and sustain the livelihoods of many millions of people. Climate change provides both opportunities and challenges for attaining the potential contribution of the wonderful tree for sustainable human development. Strategies need to be developed to address key issues in productivity, crop plant-soil/water/energy resources management, and postharvest utilization as food and feed, nutritional and health value addition, and trade and commercialization, so that the role of Moringa in ensuring sustainable development can be enhanced. On realizing the potentiality of Moringa as a nutritional security provider and the high value energy crop, much importance is attached globally and this is the right time to gear up for research and development activities to reap its fullest potential.

Moringa India the Moringa arm of Advanced Biofuel Centre(ABC), is the worldwide promoter of Moringa that designs and implements the growing of Moringa Oleifera crops in a structured Agri-Supply chain, Value additions of Moringa and research activities thereon & provides support/services from“Soil to Superfood”for development and establishment of the Moringa Plantation. ABC Support, assist, represent, advise, negotiate, manage and train participating Farmers/Stakeholders in all matters, to successfully plant and harvest Moringa Oleifera for the production of food, feed, fuel and affiliated products in India and Worldwide.

Having specialized ABC in several fields of Moringa Production related consultancy and services we see great opportunities for doing business with it for well-beings of rural masses.

Bycultivating this superfood and super energy-producing plants, processing them and finally producing food, fuel and animal feed, we are creating new sources of income for the rural farmers.

ABCs research findings and on-hand field experiences in respect of various technical, agronomical/silvicultural aspects of plantations of Moringa in various categories of land as well under different plantation models have resulted in significant improvements in knowledge and technical background related to Productivity, profitability and sustainability of commercial production of Moringa crop.

We are pursuing the unique suitability of all parts of the plant for a wide range of practical purposes ranging from agricultural to medicinal to fuel.

Moringa as a sustainable Food source for developing countries

Globally, about 870 million people do not have enough to eat, and more than two billion suffer from micronutrient deficiency, according to United Nations (UN) food agencies. The Moringa tree is increasingly considered as one of the world's most valuable natural resources, as the main constituents of the tree have several nutritive ingredients. Its leaves, pods and flowers are considered good sources of vitamins A, B, B2, B3, B6 and C, folic acid, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, and amino acids. More importantly, its leaves are highly nutritious; being a significant source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, protein, iron and potassium Arial. Moringa oleifera is an essential plant in meeting global food security and sustain the livelihoods of many millions of people. Food vs. fuel, for most, comes and goes with price cycles. It is seen as a transitory debate, usually focused on a handful of feedstocks that producers of food or fuel have become overly dependent on. To us, diversity is the solution - and diversification the strategy, and scientists and entrepreneurs must ultimately solve the debate by ending the need for it.

Moringa as a source of biodiesel

The oil from the Moringa tree is a more sustainable biodiesel feedstock as it can yield both food and fuel. Among those searching for solutions to feed the hungry, Moringa is well known. Malnourished children flourish with the introduction of the nutritious Moringa leaf crop, which provides protein, vitamins and minerals in their diets. The greatest potential for this species is currently thought to be in its cultivation for the production of biodiesel. Yields of about 20 metric tons of pods per hectare per year are achievable MOMAX3 Moringa trees. This would equate to between 3000 and 4000 liters of biodiesel per hectare per annum. It is particularly desirable because it is a very low water-use crop and may be cultivated on marginal land commercially

Considering Moringas potential as an oilseed feedstock for biodiesel ABC has honor to establish this untapped resource as alternative source for Bio- Diesel industry of future.

The Moringa oleifera trees must be regarded as a sure source of 2^nd Generation Biodiesel and the foundation around which a profitable Business plan can be built for its ability to provide large amount of oil and its pure hardiness and stress handling ability. The Moringa oleifera tree that has enough credentials: a higher recovery and quality of oil than other crops, no direct competition with food crops as it is a edible source of fuel, and no direct competition with existing farmland as can be grown for both purpose same time

Strategies For Commercialization Of Moringa

Moringa farm production is straightforward. The productive plantation of Moringa needs to be scientifically managed for better growth and production. The growth and yield of the plant could be improved through effective management practices.

There are a few practices that every grower must apply in order to produce a successful harvest and maintain efficient and effective farm production. Suggested practices are as follows:

• Choose a proper variety for a certain growing area with a defined purpose
• Plant disease-free transplants
• Intercrop with vegetables and other crops for maximum land utilization
• Execute on-time and regular insect pest and disease protection
• Administer proper fertilization management (apply only recommended fertilizer dosages for certain varieties)
• Arrange for timely seed harvesting
• Implement a sustainable farm management system

We have developed different cultivator and cultivation technology for Moringa farming

-for leaf purpose and

-for Moringa harvesting for seed oil purpose and also

-for both

The enhanced cultivation technology and improved inputs developed by ABC may provide about 4000 liters of oil without displacing food crop and without utilizing prime food land in terms of sustainable farming techniques

The key factors that can influence the oil yield of Moringa are:

• Climate
• Quality of the soil
• VAM INOCULATION
• Irrigation
• Weeding
• Pruning
• Use of fertilizer
• Crop density
• High-quality stock from superior Genotype
• Use of pesticide
• Inter-cropping
• Harvesting

Moringa India carefully manages Moringa cultivation, with advanced crop practices suitable to local soil, weather, pest, and disease conditions to ensure the high amount of oil as we have developed enhanced technology with regards to:-

• Planting materials & other inputs
• Crop Management
• Irrigation Management
• Fertilizer Management
• Pest & Diseases management.
• Harvesting Management
• Post harvest management
• And finally grading for further process

The key factors governing profitability of large scale production are:

• Selection of high yielding varieties with suitable marketable quality.
• Planting in a proper season, in compliance with the latest agro techniques.
• Pest control
• Adoption of post harvest management.

Moringa Research & Development

The Advanced Biofuel Center (ABC) is a bioenergy crop research and development company that is meeting global demand for sustainable plant oil, specializing in the development of Moringa as a low-cost, sustainable source of oil, recently announced the launch of MOMAX 3, a proprietary cultivar of Moringa optimized for Moringa growing conditions with yields 300 percent greater than existing varieties.

MOMAX 3 is the first elite cultivar developed through the ABC's MOMAX Moringa Optimization Platform known as Moringa India. The platform provides growers and plantation developers with access to the highest yielding and most profitable Moringa in the world, specifically optimized for their unique growing conditions.

ABC is a crop science Research & development entity, but by instinct it is a commercial multiproduct and services company seeking to valorize a range of products, services and business opportunities that are being developed around Moringa. In common with its peers the company initiated its operations in the second half of the first decade of this century. Its research focus was India, the region of origin for Moringa, where it developed an extensive germplasm library. The result of 7 years of applied investment and research is reflected in MOMAX3 Perennial Moringa cultivar, a suite of enabling technologies and an ambition to transform Moringa into a versatile crop for diverse agricultural and climatic environments.

The ABCs goal is to triple Moringa yields within 10 years, increase the oil content to 48 percent and in combination of other plants the target oil yield is 1500 gallon per ha. Further, to improve the quality of the oils and other products produced while minimizing inputs including pesticides and fertilizers. The years of continuous research, experiments and in cultivating and breeding of Moringa Oleifera and other biofuel crops, ABC was able to develop a systematic breeding and cultivar development strategy. Newly bred cultivars are extensively tested in multi-location trials and true to kind seeds are being produced with high quality standard

Enhanced Moringa Agronomy: Cultivation Technology

The Moringa tree is native to India but has naturalized across tropical and subtropical regions. The tree has incredible nutritional value, low demand for water and prolific growth and biomass production. As the seeds do not form a staple food source, the food for the people or food for fuel issue is argued to be not relevant. Also, the tree is able to grow in marginal lands and the leaf litter has the potential to improve the quality of the soil and is documented as having improved the size and quality of vegetable crops that have been intercropped with Moringa.

The productive plantation of Moringa needs to be scientifically managed for better growth and production. The growth and yield of the plant could be improved through effective management practices.

ABCs Researchers have developed standardized techniques for growing Moringa oleifera on large scale. ABC ensures Organic Moringa plantation right from the land preparation, crop management to production of end product. ABC Moringa Farms are under the vigilant supervision of agronomists, who make sure that the latest and best breed of Moringa oleifera is being planted. However, we keep a close watch on the research results of Moringa breeding by studying thousands of Moringa variants, identifying and collecting the best sources of high-quality to guarantee a consistently high yield, a stem, or scion, from a tree with a demonstrated capacity to produce many pods/seeds. This not only removed the uncertainty from the yield, it also provides multiple harvests within a few months. Accordingly, the enhanced variety of pkm-1 and MOMAX3 with regards to Leaf Production OR seed yield and oil yield and the enhanced Cultivation techniques may ensure proper and profitable production of THE CROP providing early fruition and flowering.

We have developed different set of products and services for establishment of Moringa plantation for various purposes
