Wealth behind Moringa Tree

If you can read between the lines, you will notice that 2010 and beyond is really the Asian Century.   It’s not a coincidence that the tallest building is now in Dubai, earlier in Taiwan and Malaysia.  Same with Manny Pacquiao and other Asian competitor, they seem to open the curtain for Asia to be recognized again.  

If you are that observant, many industrialized countries these days are silently buying vast agricultural lands in many parts of South East Asia like the Philippines.  I my self could not believe how large from the farm land areas and properties are already in the hands of foreigners from USA, Europe and the Middle East.  The threat of global warming is eminent and it will surely affect global food supply.  This is the obvious reason why they are preparing.  And if you are into investing, you should now consider agriculture before others overtake you.   If you are that observant, global trade is now pointing to organic and people are getting concious of the products they buy especially on food.  Even Coca Cola and Pepsi and large food multinationals are already investing on agricultural products as coconut, etc.  

If you already heard, Moringa is now being eyed by many as one of the best source of organic products from alternative fuel (biofuel), organic food products (both for human and animal consumption), cosmetics ingredients, best for malnutrition control, etc.  Scientist is calling it, the wonder tree.  Come to think of it, moring (or “malungay” in the Philippines) is easily grown in the Philippines and can be planted almost anywhere and by anyone.  Many do not know it yet but moringa is anticipatedly be indemand in the next couple of months and years, per study made by American scientist.  They made a conclusion that moringa is better than jatropa and other organic raw materials. Proof of its worth is the two big moringa processing plants being established by American and Europeans somewehre in Mindanao and the Visayas (Part of Philippines).   More of its benefits via youtube link below:

 

The demands of moringa are getting bigger and bigger every day.  But I noticed the need for product development is somehow lacking.  In this regard, I conceptualized a business plan that is focus on moringa research and development, in collaboration with a contact college dean and consultants.   I believe that this facility is necessary to further develop products being sought both in the global market.  My inspiration is the International Rice Research Institute which is also located in the Philippines.  With my involvement and desire to continually serve the poor and my being involve with various NGO (Sight and Life Switzerland, World Bank, etc.), I was able to develop a credible business plan proposal.  If the facility is to be funded and be established, hunger control programs by various global NGO will be supported on a cost-effective manner. 

Hope Sight and Life Switzerland and/or United Nations and and the like will notice or support us.  I am very much willing to be in partnership with them on their advocacies.

The business plan proposal is available upon request to investor/s.  I could be reached through my direct e-mail denissalvatierra@yahoo.com

• Other Industry requiring research
• Publication Industry
• NGO
• Concerned Government Agency

 International Customer:

• Global NGO facilitating moringa requirement to other countries
• Moringa Oil importer in US and other industrialized countries

 Note: The proponent intends to supply moringa products in the near future, in partnership with local cooperatives and suppliers of moringa products, in collaboration with its partner trading firm, “Sembawang Trading.”

 Market Trends.

According to global trends and studies made, these sectors have high demands:

·      Food consumption

·      Processing High-end

·      Cosmetics

·      Biofuel 

EU is growing at a CAGR of 7.3% and US at 3.5% over 2003-2006 consumption/processing period.   

 USA domestic production capacity necessitates increased Market Overview imports.  Prices per liter for comparable oils higher than expected price of Moringa.  Gap being formed for vegetable oils in this market due to shift to biodiesel

Competitive Differentiation.

As to moringa research firms in the Philippines and abroad, the treat is minimal because the competition is not that stiff and only few are on this line.

 The proponent is planning to get the services of SAP for a cost effective systems and procedure in its adherence to high standard. 

Intellectual Property Strategy.

This firm will register its products/ services ability for copyright.

Management Team.

The team to be formed will surely be globally competitive as it will be a fusion of intellectuals in agri-research and collaboration between different nationals and cultures.

Target location for the farm and office-laboratory facility is at Tagaytay Philippines (not that far from International Rice Research Institute and University of the Philippines Los Banos Laguna.

This will not just create jobs and help in the organic industry, it will control hunger problem especially in Africa and other poor countries of the world.

Note:  We intend to build office-laboratory made of used container van.  Actual floor plan lay-out is available upon request.
