MUSTARD OIL PLANT

  Indian Edible Oil Industry Vegetable oil and oil seeds are two of the essential commodities for the consumer’s daily needs. India is one of the largest producers of oilseeds in the world with an area of 26.54 million hectares under cultivation producing 23-28 million tonnes of oil seeds every year depending on the monsoons. It produces nine types of oil seeds namely, Groundnut, Soybean, Rape/Mustard seed, Sunflower seed, Sesame seed, Castor seed, Niger seed, Safflower seed, Linseed. It also enjoys the position of being the third largest consumer of edible oil in the world next only to US and China owing to its growing population, rising income levels and changing eating habits.

The per capita consumption has grown by 8.1 per cent over the last five years. It stood at 12.5 kg/person per annum which is considerably low as compared to the world average of 17.5 kg/ annum. Developed countries like Japan, Brazil and USA consume around 20.8 kg/annum, 21.3 kg/annum and 48.0 kg/annum respectively. The imports mainly comprise Palm oil, Soybean oil and Sunflower oil. Indonesia, Argentina and Malaysia are the key exporters of oil to India. Olive oil is mainly imported from European countries like Italy and Spain. Rapeseed oil is imported from UAE.

While mustard seeds are abundantly produced in most parts of India, its milling/grinding is mostly done by the large centralized plants, which have the advantage of high efficiency and reduced costs due to economies of scale. Despite the clear advantage of large plants, the importance of tiny decentralized oil extraction units cannot be discounted as they also prove to be economic and present opportunities for self- employment in situations:

where oil produced by large plants do not find its way to remote and distant places because of high transportation costs involved in wider distribution and in places where there is no oil expeller in the area and the farmers sell oil seeds to large refineries which they then buy back at high cost in the form of cooking oil but without the valuable high protein oil cake.

Therefore, in recognition of the existing opportunities of setting-up mustard oil expeller units in such situations, tiny units are suggested for the first generation Tribal entrepreneurs – the investment for which is modest and the operation is simple.

The unit is required to maintain a minimum stock of seed and enough to continue operations throughout the year. Hence, the location of the unit has to be essentially in those areas where the raw material is locally available in abundance.

In general, more profit could be made if the cooking oil is packed into retail size bottles.

However, considering the difficulty in obtaining glass or plastic bottles in large quantities in remote areas and blocking thereby substantial capital, the possibility of using second- hand bottles may be utilised. Alternatively, oil could be sold in drums to the provision stores in neighboring towns/cities.

The viability of any oil extraction unit considerably depends on the sale of the oil cake, which is extensively used as animal feed and other sub-products.

Primitive mills and presses for extraction of oils from seeds have been in use sevice long.  Mechanization came with  the introduction  of the hydraulic press by the  end  of  the  18th Century.  This too was replaced by the more efficient screw press or expeller towards the end of the last century.

Edible oil should have a fairly high keeping quality. However oils get spoilt in storage due to various spoilage factors, the chief among them being oxidation. The edible oils and  fats  such as olive, cottonseed, corn, groundnut, sesamum, soyabean etc have been found to be almost completely assimulated.  As such vegetable oils may be classed as edible and non-edible. Important vegetable oils are castor, coconut, cottonseed, linseed, mustard,olive, palm, groundnut,  sesamum,  soyabeans, sunflower and rice bran oil etc.

Oil seed crops occupy an important place in the agriculture and industrial economy of the country. India is perhaps the only country in the world having the largest number of commercial varieties of oil seeds. Mustard Oil is also one of the major oil seeds from which edible oil is produced. In Northern & Central India. It is medium of cooking food. Besides it is also used in preparation of Pickles. The Mustard Oil Cake (By Product) is used as cattle feed.
