Rajgarh sits in the Malwa soybean belt but ships raw beans to distant solvent crushers. A small cold-press unit producing chemical-free soybean oil with a cleaned-coriander side line captures the health-oil premium close to the farm gate.

Keep the existing single thread and ground it harder: a cold-press soybean oil unit. It builds on the district's coriander and soybean cultivation atom and its existing agro-processing MSME base atom — meaning feedstock, sheds and machinery skills are already present — and captures the value that leaks out when beans leave as raw grain for distant solvent extraction. Cold-pressing yields a chemical-free, naturally retained-nutrient oil that the wellness-oil market pays a premium for, and the press cake is a saleable cattle/poultry feed by-product. A cleaned-and-ground coriander line uses the same district crop and the same packing setup to smooth seasonality.
The honest constraints match the kept risk and payback: cold-pressing gives lower oil yield than solvent extraction, so margin depends on the premium brand and the feed-cake revenue, not on tonnage; oil quality, filtration, shelf-life and FSSAI compliance must be tight, as cold-pressed oils oxidise faster; and the brand has to be built against cheap refined oil. Buyers are health-conscious urban grocery and online wellness-oil shoppers, plus local feed buyers for the cake. Start with the soybean oil line; add branded ground-coriander spice once the press is running steadily.
