Castor cake is supplied for fertiliser and soil use, and we state that use on the contract and the shipping documents. Detoxified feed-grade material is a separate product on its own specification — ask for it by name and we quote it separately.

The values above are the parameters we quote against and have verified at the load port. Where your own requirement is tighter, yours governs and we quote to it.
