Casterra Ag ships 100 tons of caster seeds to African customer from Kenya

In Kenya, Casterra Ag Ltd. announced a key milestone in its operational expansion plan in Africa with the delivery of its first shipment of over 100 tons of castor seeds to its customer in Africa, seeds that were cultivated at several sites in Kenya and processed in a seed production facility near Naivasha, Kenya. The production facility started operating in August 2024 as part of Casterra’s expansive operational infrastructure in Kenya.

This shipment of castor seeds, developed by Casterra and produced in Kenya, is the first to complete the entire cultivation and processing cycle in Kenya. The company is now focused on preparing upcoming shipments, which will be delivered to its customers over the coming months. Currently, approximately 700 additional hectares are sown with Casterra’s premium varieties in Kenya, with harvest expected later this year and into early 2025.
