Oil and fossil fuel prices are fluctuating, and growing concerns about global warming are driving demand for renewable energy sources. Biodiesel is made from edible oil as a feedstock. Alternative feedstock is required because of growing worries about deforestation and GHG emissions.

Castor oil’s renewability and continuous availability will ensure that demand for the product remains stable in the coming years. Castor seeds have a high oil content (50 percent), and they produce a high crop output of up to 140 gallons of castor oil per acre. These variables are expected to open up additional biodiesel potential without putting food crops at danger.

People are spending more on health-related requirements as the global healthcare landscape changes rapidly. Several variables, including altering eating patterns and lifestyle changes, are contributing to this.
