Powering Bio-Based Industries
Our Vision
Supporting the global shift to sustainability by developing plant-based feedstock supply for bio-based industries.
Our Mission
Delivering an integrated, industrial-scale solution for castor farming, using our elite castor varieties for the bio-based and biofuel industries.
Sustainability
Casterra is redefining the castor industry to meet the growing demand for sustainable bio-based solutions. As industries move away from fossil fuels, regulatory mandates, ESG commitments, and consumer demand are accelerating the adoption of biofuels and biopolymers. Our elite castor varieties and advanced farming solutions provide a high-yield, efficient, and scalable alternative, setting a new standard for bio-based industries.
Why Castor – The perfect balance of performance and sustainability
Castor thrives in semi-arid, marginal soils while delivering commercial oil yields, making it a cost-effective and sustainable veg oil crop. It supports rural economies, preserves fertile land for food cultivation, and ensures a stable, long-term supply chain.
Yet, traditional small-scale farming and non-optimized strains limit its full potential. Casterra solves these barriers with cutting-edge genetics, mechanized farming, and precision agri-tech, unlocking castor’s role as a key player in the bio-based economy.
Transforming Castor farming into a Scalable Bio-Based Solution
Casterra is redefining industrial-scale castor production, transforming a once-niche crop into a high-impact resource for biofuels and biopolymers. By integrating proprietary elite seed genetics, AI-driven breeding, and advanced mechanization, we ensure a stable, high-yield castor oil supply that meets the growing demands of the bio-based economy – efficiently, sustainably, and at scale.
