Jatropha Plantations & Oil Production
JatrophaTech is focused on expanding profitable
Jatropha plantation and Jatropha oil production
facilities on a local basis throughout the
world. We have created a proprietary technology
that offers Jatropha plantation farmers and
investors the ability to plant and cultivate a
BioDiesel crop that produces a return per acre
higher than other BioDiesel crops on the market.
Once established, a Jatropha plantation from
JatrophaTech requires very little attention, and
can produce Jatropha plants and Jatropha oil
seeds for more than 50 years. Thus, although
initial input costs may be significant, only
minimal maintenance costs are required
thereafter.
Although the Jatropha tree is already widely
recognized in many countries as one of the
lowest capital-cost BioDiesel feedstock plants
available today, JatrophaTech's proprietary
process to facilitate Jatropha Oil production
could provide even greater plant survival rates,
yields and thus income potential.
With its numerous inherent advantages, and the
advances achieved through our unique technology,
JatrophaTech is well-positioned to become a key
contributor to profitable feedstock and Jatropha
Oil production worldwide.
JatrophaTech does not plant on land that could be used for growing food. We work only with local farmers and land owners to ensure that there is never a food versus fuel debate where we work. We are ethical and pay our farmers well.

Jatropha is a hardy shrub, traditionally known
in many subtropical and semi-arid regions for
its medicinal properties. It is widely used in
the form of protective hedges around fields
(live-fences) to prevent animals from grazing
crops.

In the past, reliable published Jatropha
plantation data has been lacking. Consequently, numerous plantation efforts have been wasted through planting poor quality seeds and/or seedlings.
