Dear all,
On behalf of the Global Jatropha curcas evaluation Programme (JEP) that we coordinate at Wageningen University and Research centre - Plant Research International - the Netherlands, I would like to draw your attention to the posibility to participate in this programme and to compare your Jatropha curcas collection with others all over the world.
As you may understand, our programme will only succeed if more Jatropha curcas collections are integrated in the results. Therefore we are looking for more contacts in more countries, for more environmental circumstances (precipitation, soil fertility), different Jatropha curcas management types and more Jatropha curcas collections to be included in our evaluation programme.
If you are not fully convinced that the programme could be meaningful for you, please read further!
Your leaf material will be genetically analyzed free of charge, thereby identifying to which ‘group‘ of Jatropha curcas accessions your material belongs to. Then you can see what may be expected (in terms of crop development, crop production and oil content) from your Jatropha curcas accession, if you compare it to other Jatropha curcas accessions from the same group, but grown under different circumstances. You may be able to change your management to obtain better results, or seek contact with people dealing with a specific Jatropha curcas accession.
So, if you have not already done so, please visit http://www.jatropha.wur.nl and find out how you can participate with your collection. Actually, it‘s quite easy: you leave your contact details on the website and indicate how many Jatropha curcas accessions (Jatropha curcas material from the same origin and managed in the same way) you have access to, and we will send out the Questionnaires and Plant Material Collection Kits with clear sampling instructions.
Please click here to Request Plant Material Collection Kit(s) so that you can send in your leaf and seed samples for analyses.
Since January 2007, we have sent out kits for more than 150 Jatropha curcas accessions all over the world (18 countries), each accompanied by a Material Aquisition Agreement, clearly stating that we DO NOT claim ownership of your Jatropha curcas germplasm (it‘s your material after all!) and to explain our scientific interest that would be benificial for all people working with Jatropha curcas.
So again, please consider participation in the Global Jatropha curcas Evaluation Programme and if you can not particpate yourself, forward this message to any of your contacts that may be interested!
The latest project developments can be found on the website as well: please click: ‘Developments in JEP and PhD programme‘.

This is genuine institution/person you can rely on.
Using official internet account, providing us with office phone. Otherwise, be careful. It is not difficult to separate a genuine offer with scam.Just use your logic.
I know Uni of Wageningen has been doing much research with jatropha in Indonesia. But, some Nigerian "company" offering cheap jatropha oil? Come on, be serious.
