Nippon Biodiesel Fuel Co., Ltd. (NBF) and ADM address issues of food security, rural electrification, energy security and reducing GHG emissions through a self-sustaining jatropha program in Mozambique. Over 10,000 smallholder farmers cultivate jatropha, from which oil is extracted and residue is used to produce compost. The jatropha oil substitutes fossil fuels for agriculture and generators that power telecom towers, while the compost increases agricultural productivity. ADM additionally supports food security by purchasing rice from villages and distributing it in Pemba.

4. Current Activities 1
ADM & NBF addressed the needs for “GHG emission reduction”, “rural electrification”
“energy security” and “food security issues” in a self-sustaining manner by producing fuel oil
and organic compost using Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) with FUNAE and CEPAGRI.
Production of Jatropha Compost production benefits
Cultivation
by farmers Application
Compost
80% residue to farmlands “Lifting” agriculture through
provision of fuel for agricultural
mechanisationand organic
fertiliser= food security
Substitution of fossil fuel (diesel)
Oil pressing, Mechanisation
Member farmers cultivate
degumming of agriculture
Jatropha on
hedgerows (of “Linking” rural population
exiting farmland), gardens through provision of substitution
and unused land ． Supply to
fuel to telecom infrastructure
17% Oil Telecom towers
10,000 members are
working with us.
Electrification of “Lighting” rural population
remote areas through provision of electricity
Income generation

7. Pilot Project with FUNAE, Ministry of Energy
We have operated small shops in non-
electrified villages.
Even such rural villages, people spend
big portion on communication.
