SGW, the position papers have covered a lot of information on the Jatropha.

This is a pretty rugged plant:
"Feedstocks such as Jatropha are reported to add nutrients
back to the soil, reduce the need for irrigation, and help curtail soil erosion."

We have government backing:
"Production of biofuels is heavily dependent upon government support: from policies supporting decentralized production or local use, to those encouraging the organization of cooperatives. Subsidies have often benefited agribusiness firms, rather than small farmers or landless workers."

Also, the Blue Diamond website has a sugar cane logo. Ethanol will be part of production. There are now 9000 independent sugar cane farmers under the Belize Farmers Association in Belize. BLDV will probably look to secure product from the farmers association for ethanol production, unless they grow the sugar cane themselves.
