Project Pragati and Project i-Pragati, launched in 2016 by Jayant Agro-Organics with partners Arkema, BASF, and Solidaridad, have driven sustainable castor farming in Gujarat, boosting yields by 32% and reducing water use by nearly 30%.
The initiatives have certified over 13,500 farmers across more than 16,000 hectares, producing 170,000 tons of certified castor seeds.
Farmers received training, safety gear, and medical camps, while over 1,150 women gained skills in farming, digital literacy, and finance.
The programs strengthen climate-resilient agriculture and India’s global role in responsible castor supply chains.
