Good Governance and Sustainable Business Practices
About us
India produces about 2.00 million tonnes of castor seed and meets more than 90% of World’s demand for castor oil thereby enjoying a dominant position in the World Castor Scenario. India’s exports of Castor oil and derivatives are estimated above Rs. 12000 crores (US$ 1.5 billion) per annum. The global castor derivatives market estimated to be over US$ 4.0 billion is highly dependent on India.
WORLD CASTOR SUSTAINABILITY FORUM (WCSF) facilitates the development of a sustainable and traceable supply chain of castor while improving the economic, social, and environmental performance of the castor supply chain. Improves productivity and sustainability in the castor supply chain in India and the world, thereby enhancing economic self-sufficiency and livelihoods of smallholder producers.
