Fast growing Teakwood, Bee keeping, and Vetiver program are highly expected by farmers as ways to get additional income besides just from

Jatropha growing

Working bees pollinate Jatropha flowers to produce more fruits

These Teakwood plants practically grow at a pace 1 meter per month and Teakwood shares similarly dry land environment with Jatropha
