• Start: 2011 construction of production facilities in the San Pedro region
• December 2012: Start of castor seed processing production
• We would like to thank Mr. José Chen for the development and construction of the castor oil peeling machines for our company.
• Ricinus cultivation is particularly suitable for small farmers in the region and we are happy to support them in planting it.

Castor bean is a perennial plant with regular yields and thrives very well in the subtropical climate of Paraguay.

The oil extracted from the seeds is a high-quality natural substitute for mineral oils and a valuable natural raw material for over 4,000 substances in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which is traded at consistently high prices.

Procedure:

• The contract farmers receive seeds from us, a castor oil plant variety specially bred for industrial processing.
• They will receive support from us in soil preparation and sowing with machines and technicians.
• We help with the care and growth promotion of plants while avoiding the use of pesticides.
• We can also help with the harvest and transport to our location with vehicles and staff.
• We buy the castor-oil fruits at contractually fixed prices.
