What is The Moringa Project?

Project Moringa is a farming and production operation on 10,000 to 60,000 hectares of land that will entail the planting of Moringa trees (Moringa Oleifera) and Vetiver grass as well as the production of six key products:

The market for fertiliser in SA is conservatively estimated at 706 million kg or 706,000 ton. Production forecast by Bio One of liquid fertiliser is only 0,06 per cent of the SA market.

The global edible oils market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.1% to reach an estimated value of $130.3 billion by the end of 2024. South Africa consumes about 1.2 million tons of vegetable and oilseed oil per annum. The edible oil produced by Bio-One represents only 0.016 per cent of this market.

According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), firewood and charcoal alone provide more than 40 per cent of the energy used in Africa. In fact, around 80 per cent of households on our continent depend on wood and charcoal as a primary energy source.

Sourced from the wood vinegar and made in different dilutions according to the application.

Sourced from a single source with the vast amount of flowers produced by the Moringa.

A bio-stimulant when mixed with BioChar for a slow release fertiliser. Also used in food and feed fortification.

Carbon Credits

Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources.

What is Moringa Oleifera?

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree, native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India, and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas where its young seed pods and leaves are used as vegetables, and many parts of the tree are used in traditional herbal medicine. It can also be used for water purification and hand washing. Moringa Oleifera can be cultivated for its leaves, pods, or its kernels for oil extraction and water purification.
