THE WONDER TREE: MORINGA OLOIFERA - A MULTIPURPOSE TREE

Dr Oscar K. Koech from  University of Nairobi, Department of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology (LARMAT) believes there’s reason for the oil retailing at such exorbitant price from Moringa tree. “Maybe they are following some of the benefits of the ingredients in terms of diet or the components of health that is in the oil,” he says. One litre of oil extracted from moringa seeds costs Sh 8,000 at Emuka Moringa Farmers’ Cooperative Society Shop, located in Emali town, Makueni County.
