In March 2007 FACT organized a large Jatropha Expert Seminar in The Netherlands. The seminar aimed to gain insight in the most elementary aspects of Jatropha before moving into large scale exploitation or small scale application for sustainable rural development. Much information was collected but it also became clear that more research is needed; a major bottleneck remains the lack of reliable field data. 

FACT's Seminar Programme Committee has prepared a position paper that presents the most recent and factual information for researchers, investors and development organizations. Click here to download the paper.
