Jojoba Cultivation Farm
38
 What is Jojoba Plant?

Jojoba is a desert plant that has the ability to

withstand difficult climatic conditions,
whether hot or cold, as it can live in
temperatures ranging from -5 degrees
Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius, as well as can
withstand the high salinity levels of the soil,
also the jojoba plant is characterized by its
high ability to withstand diseases and
agricultural pests, as it does not need a lot of
water, so it is an ideal plant for cultivation in
desert lands to obtain seeds and sell them at
price.

39
Essential Benefits of Jojoba Oil

40
A simplified feasibility study to grow 10 acres
of desert jojoba to produce seeds,
• 1- Jojoba can be grown using the seedling system (7000 seedlings / 10
acres) or with the seed system (50 kg of seed / 10 acres).
• 2- The cost of planting 10 acres under the seedling system is about 3000
USD, including services.
• 3- The cost of cultivating 10 acres with the seed system is about 800 USD,
including services.
• 4- The productivity of the crops grown under the seedling system is twice
that of the crops grown under the seed system over the years.
• 5- The effort spent on planting with seedlings is much less than the effort
on planting with a seedling system

41
Annual revenues of the project

• In the 4 year (beginning of production) = 2,800 kilos of seeds x $

4.66 = $ 13,084.
• In the fifth year = 3650 kilos of seeds x $ 4.66 = $ 17009.
• In the sixth year = 4750 kilos of seeds x $ 4.66 = $ 22135.
• In the 7 th year = 6,200 kilos of seeds x $ 4.66 = $ 28,892.
• .
• .
• .
• In the 15th year = 20,609 kilos of seeds x $ 2.1 = $ 96037

42
Marketing and selling the crop

Easily you can sell the jojoba seeds that are

produced in demand by the manufacturers
of jojoba oil, which is used in many fields
such as the manufacture of cosmetic
products and the medical field and the field
of motors as it is used in the fields of plastic,
rubber, water purification and other fields,
so you will not find any difficulty in reaching
A trader to buy the crop from the land at the
