Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Foreign Crops and Markets, Vol. 52: July 1, 1946
Castor Beans: The crop of castor beans, planted during the summer of 1945 and harvested during early 1946, was estimated at short tons, the smallest production since 1942. Despite output fluctuations during the past several years, India usually produced about one-fourth of the total world's castor-bean production. Before 1936, this country was the leading grower of castor beans, at which time Brazilian production surpassed that of India, and has continued to hold the lead.
