Mustard oil is among the top choices of people when it comes to edible oil. If you want to start a mustard oil plant, it is not necessary that you purchase a land, and buy an industrial capcity plant. You can start a mini mustard oil plant, which will not take as much as space or need a large building.
However, before starting this plant, consider these questions:
1. Is a steady supply of mustard available to you? Do the people around you grow mustard?
2. Is there a local market for mustard oil? As a small oil mill, you have to depend a lot on your neighbours for patronage.
3. Would you have the capital to rent/buy a modest land for mini mustard oil plant?
If the intial answers to these questions are encouraging, then it is time to go to the specifics.
1. Find a land that you can build a plant workshop or an existing structure in your place that you can convert or lease and convert into a plant workshop.
2. Reseach who can possible supply you milling equipment(expeller and extractor).
3. Determine your cycle of operation(mustard growing and thus milling is typically seasonal).
After all these items decided, you can beigin to start a mini mustard oil plant now.
