The Company’s fully integrated energy crop plantation model covers all aspects of the jatropha value chain. The seamless integration of large scale jatropha cultivation, efficient oil milling capacity and the production of premium biofuel, together with downstream waste recycling activities in a single enterprise are key components.

JATRO believes in vertical partnership models along the biofuel value chain. To mitigate and balance risk and increase time to market, cross-sectoral partnerships between biofuel producers, airline off-takers and financial players are actively promoted.

JATRO is well positioned to leverage over a decade of work on breeding and cultivating premium Jatropha strains and developing economically viable agronomic systems to grow Jatropha efficiently, with a yield well exceeding 2 tons of oil per hectare upon plant maturity. During that time JATRO has gained valuable experience of both the agricultural and the financial aspects of jatropha farming and the renewable energy value chain. JATRO is fortunate to draw upon the agronomic expertise and the well proven on-the-ground plantation management experience of its core founders and partners. Jatro has developed a vertically integrated model “from seed to engine” where every phase of production is painstakingly controlled to maximize its value and economic benefits.

Combining genetic, agricultural and technological innovations, intellectual property rights and filed patents, JATRO controls all aspects of scientific research, development and cultivation – including genetic and bio- engineering, high-tech conversion technologies, commercialization of by-products and the processing of high grade biodiesel and green jet-fuel. With a replicable and cost competitive blueprint for large scale plantation roll-out in hand, JATRO is ready for expansion and grow jatropha economically on marginal land.
