Mungeli's real base is its groundnut-growing belt alongside paddy and a rice-milling cluster, so the sharpened idea drops the vague craft bolt-on and commits to groundnut. The unit cold-presses local kernels into filtered single-origin groundnut oil and runs a roasted/masala peanut snack line from the same raw material, capturing the "raw kernels to cold-pressed oil and roasted snacks" gap where the margin sits. It builds on the groundnut-growing-belt atom, with the rice-milling cluster as adjacent infrastructure and know-how. Honest constraints keep this a modest, disciplined business: cold-press oil has lower yield than solvent extraction, so it must sell on a wood-pressed/chemical-free premium, which means FSSAI compliance, clean filtration and credible labelling; oil-cake by-product sales and stable kernel sourcing decide whether the economics work; and reaching distant D2C buyers needs steady packaging and listing effort. Realistic shape is a lean lifestyle business, not a large plant. Buyers: regional kirana and grocery, D2C natural-foods shoppers, and snack distributors.
