12. Castor Bean Farm & Processing Plant
SUMMARY. This profile envisages the establishment of a castor bean farm & a plant for the production of Castor Oil with a capacity of 270 tonnes per annum. The present demand for the proposed product is estimated at 1,000 tonnes per annum. The demand is expected to reach at 1.34 thousand tonnes by the year 2010.
The world average castor bean seed production is 1.1 Mg·ha 1, corresponding to 460 kg of castor bean oil with a seed oil content of 47% and oil yield of 90%; however, a higher yield can be obtained, indicating promising oil productivity [110,149].
Biofuel Production with Castor Bean: A Win-Win Strategy
Castor bean oil is mainly composed of ricinoleic acid (85–90%). Castor bean has a very high percentage of seed oil content (40–55%), higher than other normally used oil crops such as soybean
Production of oil from castor (Ricinus communis) generates two main by-products: husks and meal. For each ton of castor oil, 1.31 ton of husks and 1.13 ton of meal are produced.
Biodiesel production in Ethiopia: Current status and future
In Ethiopia, castor oil grows annually in the lowlands and as a small perennial tree in the highlands [120]. India, China, Brazil, the USSR, and Thailand are the top producers of castor beans, while the US, the USSR, and Japan are the top importers [120]. It is similar to Jatropha curcas in terms of ecological requirements.
aimed for food production. The study discusses that growing castor beans on fertile land is not in line with Biofuel Development Strategy of Ethiopia, which emphasizes that energy crops should be grown on “marginal” lands.

Extraction and characterization of indigenous Ethiopian
Castor-oil plant (Ricinus communis), also called castor bean is large plant of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae), grown commercially for the pharmaceutical and industrial uses of its oil and for use in landscaping (Gómez et al. 2016; Salihu et al. 2014b). The castor plant is a robust annual that may grow 6–15 feet (2–5 m) in one season
Even though the interest in castor beans and their oil has increased, the production is relatively low regarding other the oilseed crops . According to 2019 FAO data, from all over the world, castor seed oil was harvested from an area of 1.158.609 hectares and the total production was 1.407.588 metric tonnes.

Background Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is an important oil crop, which belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. The seed oil of castor bean is currently the only commercial source of ricinoleic acid that can be used for producing about 2000 industrial products. However, it remains largely unknown regarding the origin, domestication, and the genetic basis of key traits of castor bean. Results
- Is castor oil available in Ethiopia?
- Past Supply and Present Demand Although castor oil is an industrial raw material or intermediate input, there are no industries in Ethiopia which make use of it. Therefore, it has no market potential locally at present, and there is no indication that it will be demanded in meaningful quantity in the near future.
- How much oil is produced from castor bean seed?
- The world average castor bean seed production is 1.1 Mg·ha 1, corresponding to 460 kg of castor bean oil with a seed oil content of 47% and oil yield of 90%; however, a higher yield can be obtained, indicating promising oil productivity [ 110, 149 ].
- Where does castor plant grow in Ethiopia?
- The castor plant is native to the Ethiopian region of tropical East Africa and grows naturally and abundantly in the highlands (Alemaw et al. 2014) and some lowland rural areas of southern Ethiopia.
- What is the global demand for castor oil?
- The present annual world trade in castor oil is estimated from 800,000 tonnes to one million tonnes per annum. The major importers of castor oil in the world market are European Union, US and Japan. The world demand for castor oil is estimated to grow at the rate of 5 to 7% per annum.
