The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple 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 poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. 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 minimizes 20 lots of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it develops job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
