The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really cost effective cost of 50 cents per to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 tons of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
