Brazil Castor Seed and Castor Oil Production, Castor Companies

Posted on January 23, 2015 by admin

While India leads the castor oil producing countries, being heads and shoulders above the rest, China and Brazil are two other countries that are (still) in the picture.

This post provides some data and details on castor production in Brazil.

Poor Yields

The table below provides details for castor seed production in Brazil during the year 2011-12 and 2012-13.

Production (‘000/T) Area Harvested(‗000/Ha) Yield  (T/H)
25 141 128 219 0.19   0.64

As we can see from the above, the yields for Brazil appears really low – I mean, 200 Kg per hectare (for 2011-12) is a really poor number. The yield for 12-13 (640 Kg) is a far better number, hopefully this will be repeated for 13-14 and further.

Compare the above data with the average Indian yields, which are about 1000 kg/ha.

Now, there are folks who feel even 1 T / ha/year is fairly poor, so just imagine what they would say to the average yields in Brazil in the recent past.

(There are reports of some improved open-pollinated varieties in Brazil yielding 1,300 kg/ha, with reports of exceptional yields going up to 5,000 kg/ha, but then these are exceptions and not the rule).

    We are a seed company specialised in hybrid breeding in castor. Several proprietary hybrids are in domestic market hiaving high yield and resistance to fusarium wilt. We have tested our hybrids at many places out side India and exported seeds. The performance of out products has been very high and encouraging.

    We wish to test our hybrid seeds in Brazil and tie ups with a good company for marketing our seeds there.

    Can you please help us in identifying a good company in Brazil with whom we can work further for the purpose in view.

    Best Regards
