The Profitable Use Of Leucaena

Once The Great Forest Covered our Planet. Now through Deforestation It Has been. Trees Are A Key Ally In Our Battle To Lower Carbon and Other Gases In Our Environment.  We Support Planting Multi Use Leucaena In The Tropics.  MOTILES has developed the Leucaena Production Society as it outreach for promoting tree planting worldwide.  The collaboration of MOTILES and LPS is producing a new field of sustainable development called Leucaena Effect Agroforestry.

 Developing countries need a new crop for driving rural development. We need a way to develop industries in the small towns. Let us take a look at what kind of crop we should select to drive economic development: The selection has to have these parameters:

Leucaena is a plant that meets many of these parameters. 

Quick Index To Leucaena Resources

Farmers in tropical countries, just like farmers everywhere, are entrepreneurial. They are risk takers, interested in the future. But farmers don't plant for the future, for them, the future is now. They want a crop that can be profitable now. Leucaena can be the profit center farmers are looking for, this year. Recent research has shown that Leucaena has the capacity to become a major crop for livestock feed in the tropics.

Growing Leucaena for livestock feed is a short-term profit center based on the facts that it can be grazed, green chopped, ensiled, made into dry feeds and form the protein part of compound mixed feed. 

Growing Leucaena is relatively easy.  In the long term, Leucaena has many potential uses for rural Agro-industrial development. Leucaena can add value to Agroresidues such as wheat straw, rice straw, rice hulls, etc.   

Other potential industrial uses for Leucaena include a pellitizing mill, building materials, cloth for clothing and bags, paper pulp, litter, oil absorbent, fertilizer.

Long term industrial developments for Leucaena are being explored by researchers. Farmers can benefit from this research and make plans on how to enter other profit centers based on Leucaena.

Dr. Cross will be developing a Leucaena research project in Honduras beginning July 2008.  Contact her at leucaena@forestworld2050.com  to participate in this research.
