Jatropha Research
Curcas Oil N.V. invests a significant portion of its total gross revenue to support a variety of Jatropha research and development initiatives.
A concentrated focus on Jatropha research is an essential part of our company's desire to be a leader in the development of a healthy global Jatropha industry that is able to provide jobs, opportunity and alternative fuels to the marketplace.
Curcas Oil N.V. partners with local educational and governmental institutions to expand our Jatropha research capacity while supporting the overall growth and development of the local Jatropha industry and of the local Jatropha knowledge base. Our company also works closely with a number of industries - including those in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and agri-business - to direct our Jatropha research in real world ways that lead to greater utility for the Jatropha plant.
Further, by helping to bridge the space between pure Jatropha research and the development of improved cultivation techniques, stronger seeds, or a tighter commercial product pipeline, Curcas Oil N.V. is maximizing the value received for its own Jatropha research budget and that of all our partners to increase seed yields and/or product innovation.
By taking advantage of strong local and industry linkages, Curcas Oil N.V. is leveraging our Jatropha research programs to help build today's Jatropha industry while also ensuring a stronger future for the Jatropha plant and all its many and expanding uses.
