Jatropha curcas in Sudan

The Jatropha activities in Sudan are supported by UNIDO

Jatropha is found in Sudan in many areas such as Khartoum State in Central Sudan, Kassala State in the East and Kordofan State in the West. However, it is dominant in the Southern States especially in Bahr El Jebel and Bahr El Gazal States. It is mentioned as an indigenous plant in some books describing the plants of Sudan. The farmers in the south plant them as hedges to protect their gardens and fields.

Jatropha Research started in Sudan as early as 1972 with studies concerning the molluscicidal effect of the plant.
