Does D1BP dare to claim that they are successfully in the Jatropha plantation. There are only teh news of new promoted plantation in soem new countries from one to teh another next. If we would follow up and integrated up all the willing to plant acreages.The world must be full of jatropha trees. As to teh update report .The total planting acreages eitehr their own managed plantation of contract farming. The total planted acreages are far below what the hype was. Unfortunately after few years actively publicise. We do not know how many metric tons D1BP would be able to generate for the market after spending huge funding raised up from the investor. Is Jatropha a real crop to invest ?? D1BP being the pinoeer and lead in Jatropha activities in the past many years .

Jatropha is a succulent that stores water in its roots. With a well-developed root system it can withstand drought and still produce well, although drip irrigated plants produced three crops per year in tests instead of two, according to Richard Ogoshi and Mike Poteet of the Univerity of Hawaii.
