The Australian Moringa Strategic RD&E Plan sets out the priority research, development and extension (RD&E) needed to support growth in Australia’s emerging moringa industry, including the key barriers and opportunities shaping future investment. Moringa is highly versatile—almost all parts of the plant can be used across food, fodder, medicine, biofuel or fertiliser, creating opportunities for climate-resilient agriculture and crop diversification.
While the industry was small (around AU$0.1 million in 2019), estimates suggest the Australian moringa industry could reach AU$2–5 million by 2030, making the strategic plan important for guiding coordinated growth. AgriFutures developed this plan through the Emerging Industries program, and it is based on extensive desktop research and stakeholder consultation, providing a clear foundation for RD&E priorities and future investment to support the long-term growth and competitive advantage of the industry.
What this plan covers
This Strategic RD&E Plan outlines the priority research, development and extension activities required to establish a sustainable and profitable Australian moringa industry over the next five years.
It addresses:
- Industry viability and moringa production systems suited to Australian conditions
- Best‑practice agronomy, harvesting and processing approaches
- Market development for domestic and export supply chains
- Value‑adding opportunities across food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, feed and bio‑based sectors
- Industry capability building, governance and collaboration
Who is this plan for?
This plan is designed for:
- Existing and prospective moringa growers
- Agribusinesses, processors and investors
- Researchers and RD&E providers
- Industry bodies and government agencies
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land managers and enterprises
It provides a shared strategic framework to support informed decision‑making and coordinated industry development. The vision for the industry is to establish moringa as a sustainable and profitable Australian agricultural industry, recognised as a reliable supplier of high‑quality products to domestic and international markets.
The plan focuses on three core goals:
- Establish industry viability through proven production systems and best‑practice agronomy
- Develop high‑quality processed moringa products with secure market access
- Build industry capability and leadership to support long‑term growth and investment
