Game changing non-toxic jatropha seeds and new cropping methods

Offer Game changing non-toxic jatropha seeds and new cropping methods

Description
JATROPOWER has pioneered the development of seeds for non-toxic, edible varieties of jatropha, which could be a potential game changer for the sector. Multiple products possible: fuel oil, kernel meal as animal feed ingredient and shell as solid fuel

Our scalable and low-cost processing system for non-toxic jatropha seeds that would result in oil, kernel meal and shell is nearing operational status. We are presently researching novel cultivation systems for jatropha, such as short duration cultivation systems that would open vast new markets.
