Jayant Agro Organics is now the largest player in India in Castor business. India is the largest castor oil producer in the world. Jayant Agro Organics right now is destined to be the largest Castor Oil derivatives player in the world and with complete backward integration from farming to high end derivatives. We can safely assume Jayant Agro Organics is going to be the Reliance Industries of Castor Oil. Companies valuation right now is Very Very Very Cheap. I would conclude Jayant Agro Organics is a better bet than even Gujarat Ambuja Exports .. though on paper (numbers..) Gujarat Ambuja Exports is too good to be true and beats Jayant Agro Organics hands down.

So here we have it..Jayant Agro Organics and Gujarat Ambuja Exports are 2 "Fire and Forget" missiles of investment for the future.. you can expect them to be multibaggers in 2-3 years times. On a shorter 12 months time frame we can expect both stocks to easily double from current levels. They are both agro based derivatives manufacturers and Jayant Agro Organics  products Castor oil can substitute petroleum products
