It can be seen from the above table that the yields of castor seeds in China are almost on par of those in India (which is about 1 T\/ha\/year. An earlier post showed how the yield is far lower in Brazil.<\/p>\n

China is the second largest producer of castor. It contributes about 7-10% of the world\u2018s castor seeds production. \u00a0It uses about 60% of its castor oil for the production of Sebacic acid.<\/p>\n
