Re: moringa oleifera
Yes, there are 3 straight up in Cambodia.
There is one rather large (?) company/plantation in Chiangmai...
Australia - Nth QLD, USA, some in South Africa (SA)... - the ones in SA were the ones trying to 'flog' their product (a couple of years ago, as I mentioned earlier)... there are a few around once you start looking...
One bloke was trying to 'flog' he "ebook" on how to become a millionaire within 12 months! (from Nigeria - smelt of scam straight away - "you pay me $20 first then send me a message to my phone and I will send you the ebook." lol)
Not to say that people don't make money, but I still have my reservations.
I never heard of Moringa until very recently myself, so by no means an authority on it...

Nor am I. Before this thread I was Morimga challenged; I just happened to.luck out due to a fortuitous concurrence of events. But here are the results of the first partial harvest of a small tree. Approx. 50-60 pods produced around 200 grams of seed. So for personal use, it's a reasonable endeavor. As a commercial undertaking one would need a nice size orchard.

Re: moringa oleifera
locals ring the bell at my place and ask if they can take leaves and seed pods of the tree OUTSIDE my fence on the street. gives an idea of the value this tree is assigned.

Re: moringa oleifera
Hi Gavin, I forgot to mention that the value of these seeds locally is $1/100 gm. My wife said that the price per kilo in the city is around $40,and they are not ground.No pm in case others are interested in this info.
Also there is no shortage of this tree in our immediate area. It is used to demarcate property as a fence. The tree will grow from cuttings or seeds. The average life span is around 7 years.

Re: moringa oleifera
Well, to be honest, I have thought of something --- I think? (?)
It would be great to get a few expats/locals on board IF it is viable - perhaps networking may be a good thing? -- more research. etc.
I don't have all the answers.... but, perhaps we freeze the concept for now then? I don't know....
I won't discuss it any further, ideas are (there) but just a farce in any event, until things are in operation...
No problems....... at the same time I could be completely wrong and out of my depth!!!
Thanks, was just an idea....

Re: moringa oleifera
I bought some powdered moringa about a year ago. Locally produced and sold in Natural Garden on 63 or similar. It had quite a bitter, spicy flavour, and the instructions said that an upset stomach was expected after the first few uses. I put it in a couple of smoothies but didn't take to the flavour at all. The rest is still in the back of the fridge, I think!
So I tried taking spirulina in tablet form produced locally by a NZ couple, which was much easier to ingest.
I'd be interested in growing some wheatgrass if I could find some seeds, as I've noticed real benefits from using that in the past.
