Frontiers Farmers’ Appraisal on Okra [Abelmoschus
Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] is a nutrient-rich economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Okra is one of the horticultural mandate crops of the National Horticultural Research (NIHORT),
Okra tree crop agroforestry model: economic and environmental
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) is a beneficial vegetable and oil crop that has found valuable use as food, paper, medicine, and oil. However, because of climate change, a lack of better okra cultivars that can resist drought has hampered okra production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and across the world. This study aimed to investigate the economic production of this vegetable in a

The okra production in Nigeria World Data Atlas Topics Agriculture Production The okra production in Nigeria 1,917,406.63 tonnes in 2021 The okra production of Nigeria increased from 300,000 tonnes in 1972 to 1.92 million tonnes in 2021 growing at an average annual rate of 5.59%.
Cold pressed okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seed oil
Like other seed oils, okra seed oil is reported to contain significant levels of tocols and phytosterols (Bozan & Temelli, 2008; Parry et al., 2006). Table 2 depicts

In another study, using n -hexane, Acikgoz, Borazan, Andoglu, and Gokdai (2016) reported that okra seeds can yield oil ranging from 21% to 23%. The variation in the oil yield from okra seeds can be linked to extraction methods applied ( Dong, Zhang, Tian, Pan, & Wei, 2014).

An Overview of Okra Production, Processing, Marketing
Okra production worldwide is estimated at six million tones per year. In West Africa, it is estimated at 500,000 to 600,000 tonnes per year (Burkil, 1997). The total area under cultivation has increased over the years. India is the world largest producer followed by Nigeria and Sudan (Varmudy, 2011).

Chemical and Antioxidant Properties of Okra (Abelmoschus
Studies have confirmed the potential of okra seed (dried seed) as a good source of oil and protein for both the temperate regions and the tropics (Adelakun et al., 2009a). The seed coat fraction, as reported by Oyelade et al. (2003) , was found to have a protein content of about 20%, while the defatted fraction was 55%.
