Castor Plant Project / Mohammad Zakwan Hakim Bahazan ... [et al.]

Recently, the world is facing a problem regarding the production of fuels. The price of
today's fuels increasing from day to day. This is because the sources of fuels is decreasing due to
high demand from the consumers. There are many ways that have been taken by the government
of around the world to solve this problem. The government of Malaysia has found a way which
is using the palm oil as a replace or reduces the uses of fuels.
Therefore, we are from Castro Company introducing a new way that can help to solve the
fuels problem. We introduce the plant can replace the biodiesel and biofuel which is called castor
oil plant and in the scientific name is Ricinus Comrnunis. This plant can produces fuels or oil
from the seed. The seed contain 40% - 60% oil more than palm oil that only provides 20% of
fuels. This plant also has a high potential to generate more revenue and become a renewable of
fuels.
Castor plant can easy to grow in any kind of soil and very suitable planted in the weather
and climate our country. Castor plant is not only use as a renewable of fuels, but this plant also
have its many function such paint, soap, hair treatment, ink.
Our location that we have chosen to plant this plant is at keningau, sabah and the land is
contributed by the partner in our company. The reason we choose this area is because this area
have a good soil and suitable to this plant which can grow and produces a good quality of castor
seeds. We are as a supplier of a castor plant seed introduce the profitable business and the plant
that will become the important plant in oil industry.
