Castor community and sustainable castor projects in India
Arkema is a founding member of Pragati, the sustainable castor initiative. We engage with castor farming communities in India to enhance castor productivity by training farmers to build capacity, improve yields, and reduce environmental impacts.
Every year Arkema launches a scholarship program to empower the next generation within the community. Several hundred high school students from the castor-farming region participate in 4 separate art, model-making, and essay-writing competitions yearly.
