Cooking oil is extracted from the oilseed and used in cooking, animal feed, furniture polish and hair conditioner, soap, hair moisturizer, and more. Cooking oil has a variety of uses, so if you want to start a small cooking oil production business, it will pay you well in most cases.

Here are the steps to set up a cooking oil production business for your reference:

Cooking oil production plant

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

Before choosing a location for your cooking oil processing 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 processing 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 processing 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.
