Mumbai. The Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SOAI), a leading organization in the indigenous vegetable oil and oilseeds industry and trade sector, is organizing the 24th Global Castor Conference on February 27-28, 2026, at The Leela Hotel in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat. More than 300 delegates have already registered to participate, a clear indication of the conference's potential. Organizers expect the final number of interested delegates to exceed 400. Previous events have also seen participation from over 400 delegates.

It is noteworthy that India is the world's leading producer of castor oil and the largest exporter of its value-added products—castor oil and castor meal. These products are exported extensively to many countries worldwide, generating significant foreign exchange revenue for the country.

According to the association, this Global Castor Conference will focus on topics such as sustainability, innovation, and value addition in the castor sector. This event has proven to be informative, beneficial, and useful, with an emphasis on information exchange. Traders and exporters of castor oil and castor meal products should definitely attend this event.
