Jatropha Harvest ExperienceApril 7th-10th, 2010 |
Summary:
The Jatropha Harvest Experience, 2010, Costa Rica, was the second annual event dedicated to the propagation of knowledge of Jatropha Biofuel Farming. This Event brought nearly 100 attendees from over 15 different countries wanting to experience the Harvest first hand, collaborate and participate in UBAÂ Round Tables.
The first UBA Latin America Round table was held at the conclusion of this important event, to discuss go forward steps in developing over 245,000 hectares of Jatropha plantation developments throughout the region. Participantes from Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, USA, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Guatemala, Argentina, Ecuador and Peru attended this Round Table.
The UBA Round Table primary mission is The Million Gallon Challenge which is designed to meet end-buyer contracts for Jatropha Crude Oil (JCO). These require significant plantation developments to ensure feedstock supply. This project will require several hundred thousand hectares of Jatropha plantation development over the next 5 years, regionally in Central and South America.
