"the yield per hectare per year is up to 8.0 tons of Jatropha seed, which contain over 30% oil. At $320 (US$) per ton, this will translate into sales of Jatropha crude oil of $768 per hectare per year. Of potentially equal or greater value is the yield from Jatropha seeds of glycerin. Up to 7% of Jatropha seeds are made up of glycerin, which sells for up to $2,000 per ton. This translates into glycerin sales of up to $1,120 per year per hectare, or total sales of up to $1,888 per year per hectare"

Africa
On 19 January 2005, D1 Oils announced that it had identified approximately
17,000 hectares of existing Jatropha plantations in Madagascar and was in the
process of making arrangements to access the output from these plantations.
These Jatropha trees, currently used as supports for growing vanilla, are
already yielding seeds and the Directors expect the harvesting of this crop to
begin during December 2005.
India
On 19 November 2004, the Company announced that Jatropha trees owned by the
Coimbature Jatropha Producers Association ("CJPA"), grown on 300 hectares in
Tamil Nadu had reached oil bearing stage within a year of planting, more than
six months ahead of expectation. The Directors consider it to be best practice
to prune the trees to encourage further growth, particularly in order to
increase seed productivity, and not to harvest these initial oil bearing seeds.
