Earny, At the below site on Jatropha BioFuels economics they explain that the yields are actually over 2,200 gallons per acre. Based on this new yield BLDV only needs 4,545 acres to be dedicated to Jatropha by BLDV or other farmers. I'm ready to move on are you. See link below for support. I've included appropriate text for those who want a short cut.

"Jatropha stacks up nicely compared with other feedstocks, as soybeans and rapeseed have a relatively low oil yield compared with Jatropha — 375 kilograms per hectare for soybeans in the United States (280 gallons per acre) and 1,000 kilograms per hectare of rapeseed in Europe (740 gallons per acre) to 3,000 kilograms per hectare of Jatropha (2,226 gallons per acre) in India. Good planning, quality planting material, standardized agronomy practices and good crop management could increase yields"
