India produces some 80% of the world’s castor beans, and 18% of that comes from a region known as the Kutch. An arid and almost treeless landscape, with no irrigation and unreliable rains, it is difficult to eke a living from the land. But the castor plant is very hardy, and one of the few crops that can be cultivated here. As a cash crop castor is vital to the welfare of small family shareholders in the Kutch.

In 2002 three men with more than half a century of collective experience in castor oil production formed the Castor Products Company with a singular purpose: to produce a castor oil superior to anything then on the market.

Over the next 3 years the Castor Products Company methodically promoted superior products and expanded production to meet growing demand. Then in 2005 CPC co-founder Mr. Nanala Satra met with a leading German cosmetic maker, WALA (branded as Dr. Hauschka), who asked them to produce an Organic-certified Cold-pressed Castor Oil. This involved developing a network of farmers to grow organic-certified castor beans, and having the entire production process organic-certified as well. The unwavering support of Dr. Hauschka made this daunting task possible.

Starting with only 2 farming families in 2007, CPC’s network of organic-certified farming families is now 828 strong. As their neighbours see the benefits that come with organic-certified farming, an increasing number of families are turning to organic farming techniques

The Castor Products Company provides farmers with instruction in organic farming techniques and ensures higher prices and higher net profit for their beans, even in the event market demand for organic-certified beans does not grow sufficiently. Organic-certified castor beans now account for 20% of the Castor Product Company’s total purchases, and this percentage continues to grow.
