Malunggay- the next thing in Philippine agriculture
Posted on October 14th, 2007
The Philippine Department of Agriculture biotechnologists believes that Malunggay, the “miracle vegetable” will improve the Philippine agriculture and will significantly improve the health of the Filipinos.
Jaime Galvez-Tan, the president of Health Futures Foundation Inc. said that Malunggay is a good source of iron, ascorbic acid, phosphorus, and calcium. Its fruit is high in protein and lactating mothers are encourged to intake Malunggay to increase their breast milk flow.
Snake bites are treated by chewing the roots and applying it to the wound. It prevents the spread of the venom said Tan. Deep-seated inflammation, gout, rheumatism, asthma, lumbago, scabies are some disease that is treated with Malunggay leaves.
The director of the DA Biotechnology Program, Alicia Ilaga, said malungay is
the next big thing.
There have been many multi-level marketing companies featuring malunggay as their main product. Water purifiers, hair creams, massage creams, body lotions, and an all-purpose oil are some examples of Malunggay products. The bark of the body of the tree is used in Jamaica as a blue die. Perfumes are also extracted by using the oil from the seeds.
that is really good! because By next month, We’re going to launch a Coop named Bioenergy to implement a multi-billion peso 10-year national Fuel and Food Forest Farming (F4) Program that aims to develop a 38,000 hectares of land nationwide consisting of Mango and Moringa ( another name of MALUNGAY) trees that will be used for exporting/importing and Jatropha that will be used in making biodiesel which is much more eco-friendly and cheaper than the conventional fuel. And by this, I would also like to take this chance invite you all to become one of our shareholders for a very cheap price to support this big project and of course this will entitles you for the ownership of the land, the trees and the shares.
I’m not a farmer but interested in putting up a small farm and am interested to know what is the minimum farm size required to make this venture viable? How and where can I market the produce?
We have plenty of Moringa here at home and we even cut off some its tall trees… i think i am interested to get involve in this cooperative but let me know how… the process
How can i start in a business like that (moringa production) given that i have a farm lot already? What are the process needed to be undertaken?
thank you hope to hear from you soon

Thanks for the info!
I am a student of Ateneo De Naga University, currently taking up E-commerce. As a part of our major requirement in the subject, we were asked to do a market research about the many benefits of Moringa. Its good to know that many are already getting aware of the benefits of resources that we usually take for granted in our backyards. Who would ever thought that the food I hated the most would become the next big thing in the market in the future.
I think I would slowly run out of reasons to hate moringa.

That’s really great news! We started a company distributing capsules containing moringa leaf powder. We get our raw materials from India. The quality of the powder is excellent and the cost is relatively low compared as compared to sourcing it out locally. Now, if someone could supply the same quality and price locally, then we would love to hear from you!

if ur planning to plant large scale malunggay or moringa trees u need a vermicompost as planting medium in order to have a higher survival rate according to Terso Rasco A farmer-scientist that developed the protocol for malunggay plant propagation using small stem cuttings which generates 70-90% survival rate upon outplanting. we can supply u vermicompost products just email me emixfactory@yahoo.com or txt me thru smart 0919-5332202
