Product Overview
India accounts for over 80% of global castor seed production, with Gujarat standing as the primary growth hub. Our castor seeds are harvested from mature castor crops, dried under clean climatic conditions, and mechanically graded. Castor seeds yield valuable castor oil renowned for its singular fatty acid profile rich in ricinoleic acid, essential across aviation lubricants, polymers, paints, pharmaceuticals, and green cosmetics.
