"We have to consolidate our performance as we prepare for the next level of growth by introducing new products and adding downstream products to the existing portfolio. The versatility provided by our R&D centre not only helps to launch new products, but also enables to respond dynamically to the changes in the market. We sell more than 75 different products to over 70 countries across the globe," said Abhay Udeshi - Chairman and Whole-time Director at Jayant Agro Group.

"We have placed faith in the Indian farmers, particularly in the castor seed growing regions of Gujarat and Rajasthan to increase castor seed availability in a meaningful way. It has been our endeavour to support the efforts of the farmers by providing them with a market for their produce," he added.
