Brazafric, a leading agro-machinery manufacturing company in East Africa, has announced plans to start commercial biodiesel production in Rwanda.
The move comes after researchers discovered that Rwanda has millions of jatropha trees, which are rich in oil that can be processed to produce diesel.
Readon Sakwa, the country manager of Brazafric Enterprise Rwanda Limited, said the Ministry of Agriculture officials have started a campaign to make farming of this oil rich tree popular.
