Burmese government has forced its people to grow jatropha plant in order to produce fuel oil while natural gas explored from Burma’s off shore is sold to neighbouring Thailand and China. The shortage of energy is terrible in Burma. Even in its largest city, like Yangon, the electricity supply is only 6 hours a day. In the high rises, generators are ignited when people need to use lifts. That is Myanmar, former Burma.

The Straits TimesMAW TIN (Myanmar): A green, leafy shrub has taken root in Myanmar, proving to be a keen rival to the country’s padi fields.
With a greyish-brown bark, large hairy leaves and poisonous fruit, the plant is far from a food crop yet it is cultivated throughout Myanmar, sometimes even in window boxes in flats.
Jatropha curcas, to give it its official name, has emerged as a wonder plant of sorts and tipped to be a key feedstock in the global biofuels industry. Myanmar – with the help of some Singapore firms – is betting big on it. Source
