Full business plan? Being prepared

Unique aspects:
Having access to large amounts of land in an ideal climate for the Jatropha plant, along with low labour costs and a supportive local government.

This company has little competition as the global demand for renewable sources of energy will not be met by supply.

Ideally, an investor with links and contacts with oil companies is preferred.

We seek to offer a clean source of renewable energy which is easy to cultivate and process. The start up costs are attractive and the with a moderate break-even time.

After planting, the Jatropha plant can yield for 40 years, which offers a high return on initial investment. In addition, our consultant is willing to set up a buy-back system which means we have a guaranteed market for 100% of our output on a long-term basis.
