Cooking oil production plant

Step 1: Choose a location for your cooking oil mill plant

Before choosing a location for your cooking oil mill plant, you must consider the availability of raw materials, labour, transport and road infrastructure, electricity supply, target market, etc. The location of the cooking oil mill plant should be close to the target market and raw material resources, which will reduce supply and transportation costs.

Step 2: Choose your raw material source

You have two options to get the raw materials you need for a cooking oil mill plant. You can buy oilseeds from suppliers or have your own farm to grow oilseeds and nuts.

Step 5.: Plan packaging and distribution

The oil is collected in filtered storage tanks, then tested and if it meets the criteria the oil is taken to the packaging stage for packaging and distribution. When oilseeds are pressed, we get oil and oilcake. Oil cake contains a certain amount of oil and is used to make animal feed.
