Import Castor Seeds — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Castor seeds, or Ricinus communis, are a non-edible oilseed sourced from the castor plant, a crop native to the tropical regions of Africa and India. Keshavam International supplies special-grade castor seeds, procured from farms in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, with Gujarat alone contributing 86% of India’s production. These seeds are a primary input for castor oil and its derivatives, used in crude or refined hydrogenated forms across industries such as cosmetics, surface coatings, pharmaceuticals and lubricants.

The seeds are cultivated in key regions like Mehsana, Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad and Saurashtra/Kutch in Gujarat, as well as Nalgonda, Mehboobnagar, Prakasam, Guntur and Ranga Reddy in Andhra Pradesh. Castor seeds from these areas are known for their consistency in oil content and suitability for derivative manufacturing. Typical industry standards for castor seeds include an oil content range of 45-55%, with moisture content controlled below 8% to prevent spoilage during storage and transport.

Buyers include manufacturers of biofuels, lubricants, soaps and pharmaceuticals, with demand often fluctuating due to the commodity’s role in the biofuel sector. Keshavam International exports to the European Union, US and Japan, in addition to supplying domestic markets. The company’s sourcing from high-yield regions ensures a reliable supply chain for bulk importers, with trade terms and logistics tailored to international markets.
