Simultaneously, it was analysed the castor producers profile in the social, personal and organizational. In addition the technological level of the same.

It also observed that on the average, 12,91% the interviewed farmers are using more than 80% of the recommended techniques. The castor production in all the three selected municipalities is economically feafible (profitable), without considering the cost related to family labor. Energy production e consumption ratio of 1.52 indicates that the system for of energy spent on producing castor, biodiesel generates 1.52 unit of energy.
