A small cold-press / expeller soybean oil unit that sells branded edible oil and de-oiled cake to regional retail and feed buyers from Agar Malwa's Malwa-belt soybean. The edge: a named cold-pressed oil brand plus steady cake revenue, in a heavy soybean catchment.

Agar Malwa sits squarely in the Malwa soybean belt, and the soybean and coriander belt plus agro-processing MSME base atoms make oil extraction the natural, focused play — so trim the two-headed oil-plus-pulse card to the single soybean thread. Run an expeller / cold-press line producing branded soybean oil for regional retail, with de-oiled cake (DOC) sold to cattle and poultry feed buyers as a steady second revenue stream — the cake economics often carry the unit. This targets the raw bean to soy oil, flour & protein gap that today leaves the district as raw bean trucked to large solvent plants. Honest constraints: cold-press yields are lower than solvent extraction, so pricing must lean on a clean, branded edible-oil positioning rather than competing on bulk commodity rates; FSSAI and edible-oil packaging norms apply; and soybean is seasonal, so working capital finances bean inventory across the year. Buyers are regional kirana and edible-oil distributors plus feed mills. The orange-horticulture line is a separate idea; keep the focus on soybean.
