  • What is Jatropha used for?
  • From these initial sites jatropha has spread across many African countries to be mainly used for planting live fences. In general the oil was only used for folk remedies until the early 1980s, when the drive developed to find sources of vegetable oil for production of biofuels.
  • Does jatropha oil have a low land-use-change impact?
  • This would appear likely to mean a low land-use-change impact. Jatropha oil production should be classed as positive for the greenhouse gas emission balance, provided yields are relatively high and emissions involved with management, harvest, transport and processing are relatively low.
  • How long does it take to develop a jatropha oil industry?
  • While industries like rubber, coffee, tea or oil palm growing may have taken up to 100 years to develop and evolve to their present state, the jatropha oil industry is likely now to begin in some countries only on the basis to 10 to 15 years of work.
  • Where did Jatropha seed come from?
  • The harvested seed was exported to Europe principally to provide oil for soap making. In the 1920s and 30s up to 45,000 tonne of jatropha seed was being annually exported to ports in Europe. Seed shipped from Benin and Madagascar (other major sites of industrial-scale jatropha seed production) contributed to this volume.
