JATROPHA PEPINYÈ is a nonprofit Haitian business that grows and sells transplant seedlings of Jatropha curcas for renewable energy, rural economic development, and the re-vegetation of devastated landscapes.

The development of biodiesel is at an early stage in Haiti, but its tipping point has been reached and there is widespread support in the public, private, and international aid sectors. The basis of this emerging industry is a plant indigenous to Haiti, called Jatropha curcas. Its seeds produce high yields of oil, which can be used directly to run simple engines or refined into bio-diesel, which can be blended with petroleum and used in all diesel engines without modification.
