Anantapur is India's largest groundnut district by volume, but most crop leaves as raw nut to bulk crushers at commodity margins. This is a small mechanised value-add unit — cold-press expeller, roaster, peanut-butter mill, and a packing line — turning local kernels into cold-pressed oil, peanut butter, roasted snacks, and chikki for premium D2C and modern-trade demand. It builds directly on the district's major groundnut belt and captures the raw-kernels-to-cold-pressed-oil-and-snacks gap, the most natural value ladder Anantapur has. Honest constraints: cold-press oil quality is fragile (heat degrades flavour and shelf life), peanut butter demands strict microbial and oil-separation control, FSSAI and clean-label compliance are mandatory, and breaking into D2C means fighting established peanut-butter and oil brands on shelf and ad spend. Buyers are health-conscious urban D2C shoppers, premium grocery and gifting, and HoReCa. Start with cold-pressed oil for a faster ramp; add peanut butter and snacks in year two once QC and distribution are proven.
