Castor

Castor

Castor cultivation in Assam supports the production of industrial-grade oil used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, and bio-based products. Processing castor seeds adds value through oil extraction and the utilisation of by-products.

Castor is an important non-edible oilseed crop in Assam, primarily used for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, coatings, and bio-based industrial products. Processing includes oil extraction, refining, and the utilisation of by-products for industrial applications. The growing demand for eco-friendly and bio-based raw materials enhances the relevance of Assam’s castor industry.
