Biofuel from castor oil: How Thabang Mabapa is helping farmers
In 2016, the budding scientist won Spark International’s (South Africa) 2016 Changemaker of the year, while SSD was named among the top 10 Total Startups of the year. He is also one of the Red Bull Amaphiko Academy social entrepreneurs, having been hand-picked from the top 16 in the country to attend their in-house course, and benefit from a one-on-one mentorship programme.
The tests were also done to ensure that the castor oil plant is not planted in an area that is subject to erosion. Hybrid. In 2014, SSD grew hybrid castor beans with seeds from South Africa and India in Muila village. This pilot-test demonstrated that hybrid castor beans are well adapted to South African soil, specifically in Limpopo.
Young South African on starting his castor oil and biodiesel business
Thabang Mabapa (25) recently won R100,000 ($7,900) in funding from the Old Mutual Foundation to expand his castor oil and biodiesel business. In 2012, Soweto-born Thabang Mabapa was helping to clean up a local community church when he stumbled upon curious-looking twigs in the garden. He was intrigued by their thorny dried pods, and decided

North-West University (NWU) alumnus Lesedi Moseki delivered an insightful presentation on the potential commercialisation of castor oil bean plants in South Africa during a webinar held on 9 May 2024.
Farmer 101: Growing canola and castor beans in Mzansi
According to Elton Greeve, the crop is not largely grown in South Africa and many consider it as an invasive species. “But its added value lies in the castor oil production which stems from castor bean production,” Greeve says. “The plant produces a bean which is either pressed to extract the oil. That oil is then used for medicinal
South African domestic production is stable enough to be able to accommodate the local demand, thus most of the castor seeds products consumed in the country are produced locally. About Castor Oil. Castro oil is usually obtained by pressing the castor beans. The pressing involves one or a combination of solvent extraction or mechanical pressing.
Feasibility Study for a Castor oil Extraction Plant in South Africa
ASTOR oil is obtained from pressing castor beans (the seeds of a plant which has the botanical name Ricinus communis of the family Eurphorbiacae [1]. This is done by either one or a combination of mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. The oil is a pale yellow, viscous, non-volatile and non-drying with a bland taste.

Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization of Processing Parameters
Castor oil has long been used commercially as a highly renewable resource for the chemical industry. 1,2 It is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis L.) that is mainly cultivated in Africa, South America, and India. 3,4 Major castor oil-producing countries include Brazil, China, and India.
Ricinus communis, the castor bean[1] or castor oil plant, [2] is a species of perennial flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus, Ricinus, and subtribe, Ricininae. The evolution of castor and its relation to other species are currently being studied using modern genetic tools. [3]
- Can castor oil bean plants be commercialised in South Africa?
- North-West University (NWU) alumnus Lesedi Moseki delivered an insightful presentation on the potential commercialisation of castor oil bean plants in South Africa during a webinar held on 9 May 2024.
- Is castor bean invasive in South Africa?
- According to Elton Greeve, the crop is not largely grown in South Africa and many consider it as an invasive species. ¡°But its added value lies in the castor oil production which stems from castor bean production,¡± Greeve says. ¡°The plant produces a bean which is either pressed to extract the oil.
- How to produce castor oil in South Africa?
- The local demand for castor oil in South Africa has significantly increased. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an industrial scale production plant in the country. Castor oil processing involves a complete set of Oil Production Equipment, among which oil expeller press is the most important machine.
- Where are castor seeds produced in South Africa?
- The largest factories for castor seeds in South Africa can be found in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces. South African domestic production is stable enough to be able to accommodate the local demand, thus most of the castor seeds products consumed in the country are produced locally. Castro oil is usually obtained by pressing the castor beans.
- What does a castor bean plant do?
- ¡°The plant produces a bean which is either pressed to extract the oil. That oil is then used for medicinal purposes in cosmetics, health remedies etc.¡± The castor bean plant is easy to establish on the field, drought-resistant, and tolerates different soil types. Photo: Sourced/Facebook
- Can hybrid castor beans grow in South Africa?
- In 2014, SSD grew hybrid castor beans with seeds from South Africa and India in Muila village. This pilot-test demonstrated that hybrid castor beans are well adapted to South African soil, specifically in Limpopo. The average yield per hectare is around one tonne per harvest.
