Now sure\u00a0what the driver was for locating the\u00a0plant in Oman, if Shipra is already operating a sebacic acid\u00a0plant in India;\u00a0perhaps diversifying risk, or\u00a0perhaps of the investment interest shown by Oman,<\/p>\n<p>What is also interesting is the cultivation of castor, I am not entirely sure if the cultivation is supposed to be happening in Oman (which I doubt). More likely, the cultivation would be in Gujarat and either the castor seeds or castor oil from the cultivated crops would be completely bought by the Omanese company.<\/p>\n<p>Am looking forward to further\u00a0progress of this\u00a0venture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent news items suggest that Oman is setting up a\u00a0plant to\u00a0produce sebacic oil from castor oil.
