3. Product Overview

Castor De-Oil Cake is a natural by-product obtained after the extraction of castor oil from castor seeds. Following oil removal, the remaining solid material is processed and conditioned to produce a nutrient-rich organic input suitable for agricultural and industrial use. Because most of the oil has been removed, the cake offers better stability, reduced greasiness, and improved handling characteristics.

At Nova Industries, Castor De-Oil Cake is produced under controlled extraction and post-processing conditions to ensure uniform texture, controlled moisture, and consistent nutrient composition. Compared to raw oil cakes, the de-oiled version provides more predictable performance when used as a soil amendment or organic fertilizer component.

Buyers select Castor De-Oil Cake for its slow-release nitrogen content, biodegradability, and soil-improving properties. It supports sustainable agriculture practices by enhancing soil fertility over time without causing nutrient shock or leaching.
