Abstract: The U. S. Department of Agriculture and Texas A&M University sponsored a workshop September 18-19, 1990, in Plainview, Texas, to assess the feasibility of domestic castor production. After reviewing the status of castor production, processing, and uses, representatives from the castor oil industry, the farm community, academia, and government outlined recommendations for the development of castor as a domestic crop. This report summarizes the information and recommendations discussed at the workshop.
