Even though Jatropha is being used in limited amounts in aviation fuel, it is a start. Cultivation and yield of the Jatropha seeds is important for maximum oil production and a lot of farmers need to be trained on using the best methods for growing Jatropha. This has been a problem with Jatropha. Likewise, the governments of these countries that are growing Jatropha, need to maximize benefits for the growers. @Gunaseelan: Thank you for your comments.

The Ground reality in India is that the farmers are offered only 8( 16 cents) rupees per Kg of Jetropha or JoJoPa seeds. The cultivation and yield of the seeds is not that good. I hope the government will encourage the farmers by paying a reasonable amount of money for the seeds. Cheers It is great to hear that Flights are powered with Bio Diesel.
