Who buys & when
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Households, kirana/wholesale traders, and workshops or institutional kitchens (depending on edible vs lubricant positioning) drive repeat offtake.
Channels
Wholesale traders
Retail / branded packs
Workshops (if lubricant)
Seasonality
Steady year-round
Edible oils move year-round; agri-input crushers may feel harvest-linked supply more than consumer demand swings.
Locality
City / region
Packaged oil often needs city/regional distribution; pure crush-and-local-sale can stay closer to the catchment.
Demand watch-out: Buyers compare price and trust heavily — weak packing or unclear grade kills repeat demand faster than machinery choice.

Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material sourcing
Consistent supply of refined oils and herbal extracts must be arranged from approved vendors to maintain product quality and cost.
Bottling hygiene
Packaging area must follow basic food-grade cleanliness norms; contamination risk is high without proper covering and handling.
Label compliance
Each bottle must carry FSSAI-mandated labeling including ingredients, net weight, and manufacturer details.
Storage space
Bulk raw material and finished goods require covered, pest-proof storage to avoid spoilage and quality degradation.
