Castor oil is significantly used for manufacturing products such as bioplastics, lubricants, surface coatings, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Major castor producing countries in the region include Brazil, Paraguay, Equador, Peru, and Argentina.

In South America, castor oil is extensively used as a feedstock to produce biofuel. Countries in the region give subsidies, tax benefits, and incentives for cultivating castor seeds. For instance, the Brazilian government supports and gives tax incentives to farmers for growing castor.

This has attracted local manufacturers to blend castor with sugarcane, corn, and jatropha during the production of biofuel. However, the domestic production of castor oil is not sufficient to meet its demand, hence most of the countries in South America are highly dependent on imports from India.
