First, before embarking on palm oil processing business, we suggest you do some market research and feasibility study according to your local situation, like raw material price, end market, final oil product, labor cost, water and electricity cost etc. Then you can have a rough idea about how much to invest. Also, if you want to get money through bank loan, you can talk with local bank manager about the detailed loan application procedures.

Then is about the source of raw materials. If you want to get crude palm oil from fresh palm fruit bunches, then you can consider planting your own palm plantation or buying FFB from local farmers; if planting by yourself, then it will take around 3-5 years for it to harvest. If you choose to refine crude palm oil, then better source the crude palm oil with acid value around 5%, so that you won't loss much oil after refining.
