M. oleifera is known as horseradish tree or ben tree, and is a small to medium-sized, evergreen or deciduous tree native to northern India, Pakistan and Nepal. In some developing areas, such as Brazil and Cuba, efforts to spread the use and cultivation of M. oleifera have been promoted due to high protein, vitamin and mineral contents of M. oleifera. It grows well at altitudes from 0 to 1800 m and rainfall between 500 and 1500 mm per year. It is therefore useful for semi-arid and arid ecosystem, which covers 37.0% geographical area of the earth.
