The Managing Director, Eden Moringa, Michael Ashimashiga, shared the economic benefits of moringa farming, adding that poverty could be effectively addressed, as employment opportunities were abundant.
He shared this with journalists during the unveiling of E-Moringa products in Abuja.
He said, “These products are among the best in their category. We are very much committed to best quality because we know we are dealing with human health.
“Our factory here needs at least two million farmers to feed it with raw material. If we can get two million people properly engaged in moringa farming, this country will be saying goodbye to unemployment and poverty.
