But adequate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really budget-friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it produces job for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
