D1 will pay BP £500,000 ($818,900) for the stake, and will take back full control of the 225,000 hectares of jatropha the company has planted across Africa, India and Southeast Asia. That amounts to a quarter of the globe’s total.
As part of the deal, D1 says it will pay BP £30 for every tonne of the first 20,000 tonnes of crude jatropha oil it produces and sells to third parties – up to £600,000.
