Building a Castor Value Chain from the Ground Up.
From agricultural production and farmer development to processing and commercial supply, Harsom is developing an integrated African castor value chain.
Agriculture with a commercial purpose.
Harsom Castor Farm is developing a African agricultural and castor oil business built around production, farmer participation, processing and commercial supply.
Our focus extends beyond growing a crop. We are developing the relationships, systems and production capacity required to connect farmers with processing and markets.
This approach allows Harsom to work across the castor value chain — from the field through to the finished oil.
Connecting the farm to the market.
Harsom brings together agricultural production, farmer development, processing capability and commercial relationships within one developing value chain.

Developing production together.
Farmers are an important part of the Harsom production model. Our approach is based on structured participation, practical training, production monitoring and coordinated supply.
As production develops, Harsom is building a stronger agricultural base capable of supporting consistent raw material supply and future processing opportunities.
Practical. Connected. Commercial.
