Product Overview
Castor Oil Cake is a natural by-product obtained after extracting oil from castor seeds. It contains a rich concentration of organic nitrogen, proteins, and natural nutrients, making it a widely used input in organic agriculture and soil conditioning. Unlike fully de-oiled meals, castor oil cake retains a moderate residual oil content, which contributes to gradual nutrient release and improved soil conditioning behavior.
At Nova Industries, Castor Oil Cake is produced through controlled mechanical oil extraction and post-processing, ensuring consistent texture, controlled moisture levels, and reliable nutrient performance. Careful handling and conditioning help maintain product stability during storage and transportation, which is critical for seasonal agricultural supply chains.
Farmers, fertilizer manufacturers, and agri-input companies choose Castor Oil Cake for its slow and sustained nutrient release, biodegradability, and ability to improve soil structure over time. It is particularly valued in sustainable and organic farming systems where long-term soil health is prioritized over short-term nutrient spikes.
