Castor Seed
Castor seeds are specialized industrial oilseeds used across Pakistan for castor-oil extraction and the manufacturing of lubricants, greases, soaps, coatings, resins, cosmetics, hair-care products and approved pharmaceutical formulations. Harmain Global supplies premium Pakistan-origin castor seeds in both hulled and unhulled forms for industrial processors, oil-expelling units, manufacturers, agricultural businesses, wholesalers and approved commercial buyers. Our castor seeds are carefully sourced, cleaned, sorted and graded to support consistent oil recovery, controlled moisture and dependable processing performance.
Unhulled castor seeds retain their natural outer shell and are generally preferred for bulk industrial oil extraction, storage and transportation. Hulled castor seeds have the outer covering mechanically removed and may be supplied to approved processors requiring cleaner kernel material for specialized industrial processing. Available formats include wholesale sacks and custom industrial packaging, with batch identification, origin details, weight specifications and private-label options where appropriate. Raw castor seeds are toxic and are supplied strictly for industrial processing or certified planting applications—not for human consumption, home remedies or animal feed.
