Japan
Sept 2006 Received R&D fund to develop second generation biodiesel fuel from the New
Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan
Mac 2007 Received R&D fund to develop jatropha gene pool and its cultivation from the
Research Institute of Innovative Technology, Japan

curcas as commercial crop from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Nov 2010 Develop small scale Zero Emission Energy Operation model in Okinawa, Japan
Jul 2011 Start JICA-JST Earth Topic program in Mozambique, Africa

3. NBF’s R&D activities and its objectives
Implementation of Jatropha cultivation R&D for sustainable investment
to increase Jatropha 1. develop elite high yield cultivar
productivity 2. develop effetive cultivation know-how
Jatropha by-products
3. develop new application of jatropha
value addition
by-product
1. Development of high yield 2. Development of effective
cultivar know-
cultivation know-how
286 accessions of Jatropha plant 51 types of effective cultivation
materials have been collected from 24 protocols are examined in Palawan
countries fertilizer, planting density,
pruning etc
mass selection for high yield
cultivar in Palawan
3. Development of new application
hybrid improvement program or cross of Jatropha by-product
by-
breeding among selected cultivars to develop Jatropha kernel meal as
(in Palawan) animal feed by :
- detoxify toxic compounds
second cultivar selection (phorbol ester)
among hybrid (in Palawan) - new application of non toxic variety

5. cultivar：
Development of high yield cultivar：collection of gene pool
・started gene pool collection activities in 2007 under the fund from RITE, Japan
・286 accessions (Jatropha plant materials) have been collected from 24 countries
(10 countries in Asia, 8 countries in Latin America, 6 countries in Africa)
Various Jatropha varieties in different countries
Vietnam Mexico Belize
Guatemala Republic of Cape Verde
