摘要

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench), HS code 07099990) is known in many English-speaking countries as lady’s finger, bhindi, ochro, or gumbo. It is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical parts of the world and is most popular in India, Nigeria, Iraq, Pakistan, Cameroon, Iraq, and Ghana (Swamy 2023). Though it is virtually not grown in Europe and North America, yet, lot of people in these countries have started to like this vegetable because of its good amount of vitamin A and folic acid, besides carbohydrates, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium (Sivakumar et al. 2013). India is the largest producer of okra in the world (Table 3.1), with a total production of 6466 thousand MTs during the year 2020–21 (NHB, Final estimate 2020–21).
