Meikle finds gold in castor oil

#JamaicaStar
JULY 2, 2021: For years, Dave Meikle was cutting down dozens of castor trees that grew wildly in his yard. The 30-year-old farmer saw them as pesky plants with no value. However, his stance changed after he conducted research and found that there is a strong demand for castor oil, especially in the beauty and automotive industries.
Castor oil has since been added to Meikle’s FarmBwoy Products brand, operating out of Sandy Bay in Clarendon. Meikle shared that the business is very lucrative, adding that a four-ounce bottle of the FarmBwoy castor oil retails for $2,500.
