The physic nut is a drought-resistant species which is widely cultivated in the tropics as a living fence. Physic nut is well adapted to marginal areas with poor soils and low rainfall, where it grows without competing with annual food crops, thus filling an ecological niche.  The species has numerous uses and in their combination lies the potential fo this crop.  The most important is the combination of erosion control and oil production.  The use of the oil as a substitute for diesel fuel and for soap production in rural areas would improve the living conditions of the people and would offer additional income.
