During the development of our Dutch and Belgium power plants, BioShape Holding B.V. concluded it would be beneficial to produce its own Pure Vegetable Oil. Because a number of share holders already had business interests in Tanzania, it made sense to pick this country for these activities.
In 2006 a team of Tanzanian experts was hired in order to locate possible areas which lent themselves to the cultivation and exploitation of Jatropha nuts. After the identification of a number of possible locations, the choice fell on the Kilwa district, in the South East of Tanzania.
Currently, BioShape Tanzania Ltd. posseses 81.000 hectares of ground on which 400 plantations of 200 hectares each will be established. These plantations will be designed to operate without deminishing the regions bio-diversity.
Additionally, in 2009 BioShape will start with the renovation of the Kilwa harbor.
