Entreprise Exploitation Jatropha (brief info).
Thank you innovation for the up date.
Entreprise Exploitation Jatropha (EEJ) is to produce jatropha oil in Haiti by 2010.
EEJ approach is a bottom up approach. Jatropha is still not a domesticated plant, in Haiti it is not centralized in large quantity in any specific area and the quality remains to be evaluated.
Following is a sequence of approach:
1) Identify seeds to use at the nursery (done)
2) Establish a nursery using poly bags (done)
3) Establish a quality seeds bank for the
nursery (done)
4) Harvesting selected seeds from the seeds
bank for the nursery (next step)
5) Identify and select a land for plantations
(on going process has needed)
6) Plantations (first part of 2009)
7) Selection of equipment for oil production
8) Partner and funding (on going process)
9) Procurement of equipment for oil production
10) Harvesting and preparation of seeds for
pressing
11) Oil production by 2010
During the year 2007 we imported quality seeds from India and established the first nursery in Lhomond a village 20 minutes from Miragoane. In early 2008 we started a second nursery in the outskirt of Jeremie.
Since then we were able to test many seeds from Haiti and we have located some excellent quality and surprising result. See for yourself.
TEST RESULT: Seed Oil Analysis Report (Jatropha Curcas from Haiti)
Content:
Water Protein OIL Carbohydrate Fiber Ash
4.6g 18.2g 42.8g 32.2g 15.5g 3.0g
At the end of 2008 we will be harvesting and selecting seeds from the seed bank for the nurseries and grow seedlings for the plantations.The seeds bank at the 2 nurseries will cover a total of 50 hectares. We have access to 1,000 hectares or more for plantation and depending of funding, we can increase the size of the land.
To promote jatropha with the farmers at Lhomond, EEJ in collaboration with a small farmer’s organization distributed 10,000 seedlings at the rate of 300 to 500 to each farmer. We are also doing some inter cropping test with corns and beans.
By 2009 we will have a sufficient quantity of good quality seeds. The size of the plantations will depend on money available to support the labor and purchase of equipments to produce “jatropha oil” at the end of 2010.
We will lounge a web site after we start the plantation phase
