Nopal can be the answer to many human challenges. It can also help us fight climate change. If it is called a magic plant in Mexico, it will not be wrong. Nopal is a prickly pear-like fruit, which grows with hawthorn in the deserts of Mexico. In Mexico, a tribal community called Kemmbro cultivates it. It is not only used as a fruit, but bio-fuel is also prepared from its waste after use. The importance of this fruit can be gauged from the fact that its symbol has been given a special place on the national flag of Mexico. In 2009, Rogelio Sosa Lopez, a local businessman, had already achieved success in the tortilla industry made from corn.

After this, he joined hands with a businessman named Miguel Angel, who used to cultivate hawthorn on a large scale. His company name is Nopelimex. The biofuel produced by the waste of Nopal is a cheaper deal than the waste of corn cultivation. The cultivation of Nopal is on a much larger scale than the cultivation of corn. According to an estimate, 300 to 400 tons of nopal can be grown per hectare even on less fertile land, while 800 to 1000 tons yield in fertile land. The consumption of water in Nopal farming is very low and the benefit is double. Nopal is sold as fruit and bio-fuel is prepared from its waste. There are three reasons to cultivate nopal on a wide scale. The first one is social. Due to the cultivation of Nopal, people get employment at the local level and there is no migration. Secondly, from an economic point of view, it is a deal of profit.
