About this product
Castor oil goes into lubricants, coatings, cosmetics and many chemical derivatives, so buyers judge castor seed on oil yield and free fatty acid, the two figures that set a crusher’s margin. Seed size and cleanliness then affect how evenly the seed presses.
Castor seed contains ricin, a natural toxin, so it trades only as an industrial product. State your destination market’s documentation needs at enquiry. Castor plants fruit over a long season and farmers collect the capsules in successive pickings, so Hajuta confirms harvest timing with each lot.
Hajuta confirms final specifications for each lot against the agreed pre-shipment sample.
