The appraisal conducted interviewing professionals on which identified will most suitable why. A total 30 purposively selected interviewed, 10 Chemists, Environmentalists from Biosciences. 28 supported adoption Jatropha Curcas considering cost production, benefits attached effects food availability security, since is not edible. therefore recommended Seeds harnessed for bio-diesel policy design improve processing proposed while thorough research into economics benefit analyses deemed necessary.
