The Philippine Army is taking the initiative in the propagation of Jatropha Curcas for biodiesel by planting it in some vacant land that they own…
Target areas for planting are:
1. 45,000-hectare Kibaritan complex located in Barangay Malinao, Kalilangan, Bukidnon;
2. 2,000-hectare Mayapay complex near Butuan City
3. 35-hectare in Camp Evangelista, Cagayan de Oro City.
This is in support of the “Green Philippines” campaign of the Philippines… wherein the targets are reforestation, environmental clean-up and establishment of parks and recreational areas…
Cool!, I hope this will encourage Petron to put up their biodiesel processing plant here… based from what I’ve been picking up… the price of Jatropha Curcas will be Php 5.00 per kilo…
