  • Where is jatropha oil produced in Mali?
  • In 2006, the Mali FolkeCenter developed a project targeting the production of jatropha oil destined for electricity production in the agricultural and cotton region of Garolo. Besides cotton, this region is also known for the production of peanuts and important food crops (corn, sorghhum, rice, etc.).
  • Should a biodiesel policy be implemented in Mali?
  • Direct investment or expansion of lands for jatropha cultivation would be more powerful if the objective of the policy is to increase production of biodiesel in Mali. However, such as policy has significant negative implications to the overall economy unless idle land is utilized for biodiesel production.
  • How many production sectors are there in Mali?
  • As noted earlier, our model for Mali covers 20 production sectors, including jatropha, biofuels, fossil fuels and other energies (mainly electricity). Jatropha and biofuels were not found in the initial SAM (Coulibaly 2009).
  • Does Mali use jatropha curcas to make biodiesel?
  • Mali, a landlocked West African nation at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, has introduced a program to produce biodiesel using jatropha curcas, a non-edible shrub widely available throughout the country by farmers for generations as a living fence for their gardens.
  • How does a Jatropha sector increase value added in Mali?
  • On the other hand, jatropha sector value added increases by 10 times if land allocated to jatropha is expanded exogenously by 15 fold. Direct investment or expansion of lands for jatropha cultivation would be more powerful if the objective of the policy is to increase production of biodiesel in Mali.
  • Should a policy to expand jatropha based biodiesel industry in Mali be implemented?
  • These results imply that a policy to expand jatropha based biodiesel industry in Mali should be implemented along with some safeguard measures to protect the urban poor from potential negative consequences. This analysis can be extended for improved distributional analysis.
