In a significant step toward high-value agribusiness, Vathalagundu Kalanjia Jeevidam 10K FPO participated in a focused conference on Moringa Export and Processing held at the Theni District Collectorate on 14 October 2025. The event marked an important milestone for the FPO as it explored pathways to move beyond primary production and enter competitive export markets.
The session was led by Mr. Suresh Kumar, Export Advisor from TNAPEX, who offered a comprehensive overview of the global moringa value chain. Participants gained critical insights into international market demand and gaps, helping them understand where Indian moringa holds a competitive advantage. The discussions went beyond theory, addressing practical aspects of production, processing, quality standards, and export-ready packaging.
Equally valuable were the inputs on business strategy and government support, including marketing approaches and schemes available to promote export-oriented agribusinesses. The conference also provided a realistic perspective on the opportunities and operational constraints involved in moringa processing—equipping the FPO leadership to make informed, future-ready decisions.
Overall, the conference served as a strategic knowledge gateway, strengthening the FPO’s preparedness to tap into high-value moringa markets and laying the groundwork for value addition and export-led growth in the Vathalagundu region.
