Most of consumer and industrial products that come from crude oil can be replaced by castor oil. Also known as “green oil”, castor is listed as one of the eight most important strategic materials by America.
Based on our ideals of ‘Work Real & Work Strong’, we focus on planting, research and development of castor cultivation in the past 8 years. Our several plantation farms located in Cambodia are affiliated with Israel castor oil refinery specialists, british plants’ research specialists and members of castor plantation & refinery in China.
Apart from Cambodia government and private sector, land supply is abundant and well suited for agriculture with approximately 6.3 million hectares nationwide. Fair weather, ample sunlight and minimal natural disasters in Cambodia give the best growth for castor farms. As Cambodia population has a large farming industry, LGA is able to transfer technological training and experience to the local farmers.
As the government is promoting Cambodia with compliance in globalization process, Cambodia began attracting foreign direct investments to facilitate their country’s overall economic growth. LGA complies with the government authorities and private sector on a regular basis according to standard international laws.
We sell our harvested seeds to appointed castor oil refinery factories upon our castor cycle completion. From our continuous research and development, we are able to control and maintain high oil containment qualities thus making maximum profit. For our future roadmap, LGA is looking forward to set up its own castor oil refinery factory.
Land preparation is prepared early upon land selection, clearing, ploughing and proper water channel irrigation in order for castor planting.
We replant before our third castor batch grows or expands beyond recommended size in order to control the distance between castor trees. We plant at least 10,000 trees within one hectare. For each well grown castor tree, there will be 5 to 10 fruit bunches or equivalent of 80 to 130 fruits. As a conservative calculation, each cycle yields 700 fruits and 2,100 seeds, with a total of average annual volume of 7 metric tons.
