23rd SEA Global Castor
"When dedication meets innovation, even a single seed can inspire a revolution in farming."
Sravan Kumar Nalla
The event was graced by Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, and brought together key stakeholders in the castor value chain. Highlights of the conference included a comprehensive survey presentation on India’s Castor Crop 2024-25, analysis of castor oil market trends, and discussions on sustainable farming practices that are shaping the future of castor cultivation.


India proudly holds its position as the global leader in castor oil production, meeting over 90% of global demand, with export revenues reaching nearly ₹15,000 crore ($1.8 billion) annually. This underscores the vital role of castor farming in the rural economy and international trade.
At Navbharat Seeds Pvt. Ltd., we are proud to support India’s castor farmers with research-driven, high-yielding, and sustainable seed varieties like NBCH-22. This victory not only belongs to one farmer but symbolizes the growing strength of Indian agriculture powered by innovation and dedication.
Here’s to more such inspiring milestones in the journey of Indian farmers!
We are delighted to share a proud achievement from the heart of Gujarat. At the 23rd SEA Global Castor Conference 2025, held in Gujarat, a dedicated farmer from Rajkot district was honoured with the 1st Prize for Outstanding Castor Production — a moment that shines a spotlight on the power of innovation, commitment, and collaboration in Indian agriculture.
