27. 7.CONCLUSION
• Growing demand for Moringa products at
national, regional and international levels.
• In India, Moringa is well-known, but not yet
commercially exploited.
• Moringa trees grow naturally in the country due
to the suitable land and excellent climatic
conditions.
• However, there are few moringa plantations and,
currently, only Moringa Leaf Powder, Moringa
Capsule, Moringa oil is produced, processed and
traded in small quantities at the national level.
27

• In the short to medium term, there is a
potential to increase the production volume
and quality of Moringa Leaf Powder and other
products such as oil, root products etc.
• This would have the double benefit of
improving the nutrition situation of the
population and offering an additional income
for smallholders
29. • In the medium to long term, there is also a
potential to commercially produce Moringa
Oil in India. This requires medium scale
investments and technological upgrading.
• While there is only a very small national
market, the rising global prices for exotic
vegetable oils indicate that the international
market is most promising for this high value
product.
