Connecting Every Stage of the Castor Value Chain.
A clear overview of the journey from farm planning and harvest handling to mechanical pressing and commercial evaluation.
From seed to commercial supply.
Castor production involves several linked stages. Planning and record-keeping help connect farming activity with post-harvest handling, processing and buyer requirements.
Seed & Land
Confirm seed requirements, farm readiness and planting plans.
Cultivation
Plant, monitor crop development and manage the crop through the growing cycle.
Harvest & Dry
Harvest mature material and handle it carefully for storage and delivery.
Seed Handling
Clean, sort and prepare seed according to the applicable processing and quality requirements.
Mechanical Pressing
Oil is extracted through mechanical pressing, with output dependent on the seed and processing conditions.
Buyer Evaluation
Product details and applicable quality information are discussed with buyers against their specifications.
Each stage matters.
Harvest handling, storage, processing and testing can affect the final product. Harsom is developing its technical and quality information to support clear commercial discussions. Any particular specification or test result should be confirmed from the relevant product documentation.
