Who are we?

Technology Alternatives Ltd. (TAL) was primarily set up with the vision of producing high quality seed for growing Jatropha trees which is in great demand for the international biodiesel industry. Within the first year, 400 acres had been purchased and substantially populated with Jatropha which has already produced its first fruit and yielded high quality seed.

Our main plantation is currently located in the central Cayo district of Belize, Central America. Belize is subtropical, ensuring excellent growing conditions and high yields. Jatropha Curcas L (TAL’s main oilseed crop) originates from the Yucatan area some 200 miles to the north.

Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America, making it a good location for regional operations. Belize offers attractive investment opportunities for property and land both in the long term and short term with low labour and material costs.

Our Vision:

TAL will eventually be employing hundreds of local people in overseas operations. The principles of Fairtrade will be applied in all TAL’s activities and as a result of operating in Third World economies, TAL will improve the lives of many communities and peoples, whilst maintaining high profit levels and creating C02 subsidy opportunities.

Mission Statement:

The Mission of Technology Alternatives Limited (TAL) is to provide a profitable, sustainable and efficient solution to capitalise on the demand for renewable energy and Carbon Sequestration within the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). In addition, the business, once established, will provide a base for ongoing research in the oil, agronomy, agriculture and bio-fuel markets. Importantly, at all times the business will be conducted in an ethical and ecologically sound way.
