The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households are linked 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation 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 small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very affordable rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it creates job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
