Jatropha, locally known as tuba-tuba is one of the most promising sources of bio-fuel today. About 30 percent of the tuba-tuba nut is composed of oil. This oil can be easily processed into fuel that can replace or mixed with petroleum based diesel to save on imported oil and most importantly increase local employment and help the economy to grow.
The Tuba-tuba has been planted in the Philippines for quite some time but it was used mainly as fencing since it animals do not eat the leaves – even the insatiable goat would not eat the leaves. The ever increasing price of petroleum prices has triggered interest on Jatropha.

Hello!
My dad wants me to manage a 1ha lot. (I’m just a college student) It has some shrubs and trees lang (non-fruit bearing). I was looking into planting jathropa into it? Is there someone who can help me set-up everything (the process) My concern is if there’s no market for it and secondly, it may eventually kill the soil. Are these problems true?
If not, where can I market it? text me at 09228773392 =)
With my New investor, We are buying Jathropa seeds in the Philippines at $.20 to $.74 per kilo. just email: jumtrinkz@live.com
Everyone are crazy about jatropa, by the way if I have already produced the seeds in volume how much will be the average buying price in the Philippines?
I’m just afraid this could become just like what happened to the planting of Gmelina trees, the government promoted it and only to find out that it was only the box factories for tomatoes that benefited from it.
The Government should be serious with it and the planting is not the problem, its the price that matters.
So many times in the past the Government encouraged the people how to plant this and that, but they never try to do something about the price. As they say, it depends on the economic forces blah blah blah

Taga Isabela ako gusto kung mag tanim ng tuba-tuba pero ang prolema ko lang sino ang bibili? Baka kasi magaya sa tamin ko na gmelina ngayon nahihirapan kaming ibenta at sobrang baba ang kuha nila.Please reply.

@larry, sa pagkaka alam ko, ang PNOC ay bumibili ng jathropa seeds. check mo yung “Related Posts” dito at basahin mo lahat ng comments, marami nag iwan ng contact numbers for buyers.
bumibili ang PNOC for planting material seeds only We dont know after planting but they should have a refinery on biodiesel to continue buying of our seeds. planting material cost much than to convert diesel seeds.
anyway we have a buyer now with refinery and they will assist you on the plantation maintenance for them to assure your seeds will yields high oil content.
meron na bang company na bumibili ng seeds nito d2 sa quezon province.may mga seedling ako d2. d ko pa naitatanim kase d ko sure kung may bumibili nito.
