In partnership with Indonesia’sleading Bogor Institute of Agriculture,Indocement succeeded in cultivating a30-hectare plantation of the jatropha trees,known for their oil-rich seeds.What is significant about this development isthe fact that the plantation is located on whatused to be Indocement’s limestone quarry.Our cultivation project has turned a totallybarren land into what are now rows uponrows of green trees as far as the eye cansee. The success of this project has caughtthe attention of scientists, environmentalistsand various agencies throughout the world,drawing visitors to the site in increasingnumber. Today, there are 75,000 fully grownjatropha trees, with 90,000 additionalseedlings planted on the site. A typical treewould hold up to 100 fruits, and each fruitbears three seeds, from which burning oilcan be extracted.Indocement2007 Annual Report36
