Neem Tree (Azadirachtica indica. A. Juss).
It is wildly grown in India. In India there are about one core sixty six lacs of Neem trees which had a capacity to produce approx 6,64,000 tons of neem seeds per year and from this about 1,30,000 tons of neem oil and 5,30,000 tons of Neem cake can be produced in India But unfortunately we are collecting only 25% to 30% of neem seeds from the neem tree produce.
