At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses.

The small scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
