Lesson from Songhai farms
We took the first batch of agric investors on our agrobusness excursion to Songhai farms, Portnovo, Republic of Benin, last week. The experience at Songhai farms is overwhelming. The Moringa trees in Songhai farms are well over 30,000 stands and they use the leaves primarily to feed the Japanese quails and the egg laying birds. It has been discovered that Moringa fresh leaves in their diet cause egg production increase, and also serve as antibiotics for the birds.
The Moringa leaves are also used for biogas generation. I also feed my grasscutter, rabbits, and dogs with Moringa leaves and powder. Rabbits seem to love Moringa most.
Moringa plants are now being introduced into the USA as the plant gains popularity among health-conscious people. Moringa plants for sale are now a common sight on the Internet. Many people are also raising their own Moringa plantation. With 200 stands on a plot, a farmer is in business. Order for your Moringa seedlings today!
