The document describes a rural development project in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique run by Agro-Negócio para o Desenvolvimento de Moçambique (ADM) that utilizes jatropha to produce biodiesel and biofertilizer. The project formed 75 farmer clubs with 6,000 members to plant jatropha and produce oil, which is then processed into "JAT-DIESEL" biodiesel. ADM sells the biodiesel to local businesses and utilizes the seed cake byproduct to create biofertilizer. The project aims to improve livelihoods through employment, reduce costs of fuel and fertilizer, and collaborate with the Mozambican government on economic
