Jatroph hedges in a village of West Nile region, 
near the Rhino refugee camp

In the West Nile Region Jatropha is planted by the autochthon population as well as by the the refugees in the camps, who do subsistence agriculture on small plots (0,3 - 0,5 ha per person).

It seems that the population does not use the Jatropha fruits. The hedges are there just for fencing.
