The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 loads of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it develops job for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
