Jatropower acquires Quinvita assets

Swiss Jatropower, a developer of Jatropha curcas seeds and associated agronomic technologies, has acquired a large majority of Quinvita’s assets.

Quinvita grew these activities over a period of seven years through their breeding programme and agronomic evaluations and experiments in several Asian, African and Latin American countries and scientific collaboration with numerous research institutes.

The Quinvita germplasm will strengthen Jatropower’s existing genotype base.
