Production & Sourcing

Noni, also known as Morinda citrifolia, is a tropical fruit that grows on a small evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia and Australasia. It is now cultivated in many tropical regions including Polynesia, Micronesia, and the Caribbean. The fruit is traditionally harvested by hand, as the tree does not drop its fruit when ripe. The process of harvesting noni is labor-intensive and requires skilled workers to carefully pick the fruit without damaging it.

The fruit is then washed and dried in the sun for several weeks until it turns dark brown and becomes leathery in texture. After drying, the noni fruits are mechanically pressed to extract the juice, which can then be further processed into various forms such as powders, capsules, and juice concentrates.

The production of noni is typically done on a small scale, with fruits harvested and processed locally by small-scale farmers. This allows for better quality control and ensures that the fruit is processed at the peak of its ripeness, resulting in a superior product.
