A comprehensive moringa powder plant to make cookies and other products was recently inaugurated in the municipality of La Sierpe, in the province of La Sierpe.
According to the Prensa Latina report, to supply this plant, more than ten hectares of moringa are required. Therefore, with said production, regarding 20 tons of dust might be obtained each year.
In this sense, the powder obtained at the “Sur del Jíbaro” Agroindustrial Grain Company would be used as a nutritional supplement in the preparation of cookies. In addition, it will also be used in the pharmaceutical industry and for export purposes.
What particularities does this factory have?
The production of nutritional supplements for humans and feed for sheep, goats, pigs and birds is one of the benefits of the plant.
However, this factory has state-of-the-art technology of Austrian origin to favor the drying of the leaf.
Regarding the “raw material”, Concepción Campa, the project’s national adviser, explained that moringa has anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. Therefore, it might cure up to 300 diseases.
The truth is that moringa has gained a lot of popularity among Cubans in recent times. Especially because of the studies and theories that have originated around it as a plant with dissimilar healing and nutritional properties.
But the La Sierpe factory is not the only one with these peculiarities on the island. In Pinar del Río, another moringa processing industry also aims to produce some 20 tons of powder each year.
In addition, some time ago the Sierra Maestra Center for Research on Protein Plants and Bionatural Products announced the promotion of projects of this type in the country.
This with the idea that they allow obtaining other derivatives of moringa oleifera, to be used by Cubans as a nutritional supplement.
Likewise, the Cuban government, faced with the impossibility of buying feed on the international market, made an urgent call to plant moringa and other forage plants. With this, the authorities set out their objective of helping to feed the larger cattle on the island.
