Jojoba is a perennial, shrubby species, native to the Sonoran Desert, in the USA and Mexico. Jojoba was introduced in Argentina in 1976 in the province of Cordoba. Argentina is the main producer of jojoba in the world, followed by Israel, Peru and the USA. Until now, the vast majority of selection efforts have been essentially based on seed yields. The objective of this work is to determine the importance of including in the selection programs, the variability in the oil content existing in the species. The present study carried out with the available information and the one generated here, demonstrates the significant significant variability (p< 0.05) in quantity and composition of fatty acids. Knowing and raising the oil content and even its chemical composition, could allow the formation of standards that empower the producer to access bonuses for content and quality.
