Yes there WILL! There will be Jatropha production IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS. You need to do some DD...

This all coincides with the article found in BioDiesel Magazine.

So from all of this confirmation let’s get to the numbers:

-Mid-2008 they will be producing 3,000,000 gallons of crude jatropha oil.

3,000,000 gallons * 3,3 liters/gallon = 9,900,000 liters of CJO

RECOPE representative said they will be paying around $0.75 dollars or maybe even more for 1 liter
9,900,000 liters of CJO * $0.75 dollars/liter = $7,425,000

BINGO!! ~ CONFIRMS AMHDs PROJECTION FROM LAST PR…

It gets even better ~ I spoke with Pan Am BioFuels: By the end of 2008 they will be able to produce up to 5,000,000 gallons of grude Jatropha Oil with their plantations:

15,000,000 liters of CJO * $0.75 dollars/liter = $11,250,000 !!

This is ONLY from their existing Costa Rica site … if we read the last PR very carefully the company plans on revenue from:

* Consulting fees for proposed and new Jatropha plantations
* Cloning technology for the production of superior Jatropha seeds
* Exclusive distribution rights of a new, superior extraction process
* Sale of Jatropha seeds
* Sale of Jatropha seedlings

THIS DD IS ONLY FROM OIL EXTRACTION !!!

They are EXPANDING … Costa Rica is only the beginning … they believe that if they are able to produce what they think they can produce we may be looking at over 10,000,000 gallons for DOMESTIC (RECOPE) & INTERNATIONAL export from Costa Rica.

This is factually incorrect.

You can produce roughly 33% of what a full Jatropha tree would produce at one year and roughly 66% at two years. While it does take three years to fully mature; you can still garner oil from juvenile trees. To say it will take three years is simply not scientifically true.

With one hectare of land, you can plant 2,500 trees efficiently for max growth and production. Each adult tree can produce one gallon of biodiesel annually with current technology. Any advancements that Mr. Hirji may have made will only increase his production in my opinion.

Labor is dirt cheap in many third world nations, I would say almost criminal in most cases. That being said, the construction, planting and harvesting of Jatropha will not cost the 10s or 20s or even millions you claim. One or two "skilled" workers and the rest working for .20 cents a day (a kings ransom) and you can see where this is going.

The "critiquing" of this stock is the fiercest I have ever witnessed. It is simply amazing to watch at the ferocity and viciousness. It is going to be an interesting few weeks and months ahead in my opinion.
