The pitch

Roasts, grinds, and blends peanuts into smooth and crunchy peanut butter, then fills and seals it in food‑grade jars for retail sale.

Direct to kirana stores, supermarkets, modern trade outlets, e‑commerce platforms, and institutional buyers (schools, hostels, catering). Daily operations involve peanut procurement, roasting at 160‑180°C, grinding to desired texture, mixing with stabilizers, hot‑filling into sterilized jars, capping, labeling, and batch‑wise microbial testing before dispatch.

Sample project cost ₹14,53,000 covers a small‑scale processing plant (roaster, grinder, homogenizer, filling line), basic QC lab equipment, packaging material stock, and initial working capital for raw peanuts and consumables.

Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.

Channels

Local retail
Order / referral
Wholesale where relevant

Seasonality: Steady year-round; Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.
Locality: City / region; Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.

Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.

How seasonal is demand?

Steady year-round. Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.

What is the sample project cost?

₹14,53,000 is the official PMEGP sample project cost shown for this idea. Your actual project cost may differ — treat this as a planning reference, not a quote.

What subsidy might apply under PMEGP?

Indicative PMEGP-style margin money rates on this site run up to 35% of project cost, depending on beneficiary category and rural vs urban area. This is not a guarantee of subsidy, sanction, or bank finance — verify current guidelines before applying.

How local is demand?

City / region. Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

Peanut price volatility
Raw peanut rates fluctuate seasonally; secure forward contracts or maintain a buffer stock to protect margins.
Food safety compliance
FSSAI licensing, HACCP plan, and regular lab testing are mandatory; non‑compliance can halt sales.
Equipment downtime
Single‑line roaster/grinder creates a bottleneck; preventive maintenance schedule and spare parts inventory are critical.
Packaging regulation changes
Plastic‑use restrictions and labeling norms (nutritional info, allergen warnings) may require redesign and cost impact.
Market competition
Established brands and private labels dominate shelf space; differentiation via flavor variants or clean‑label positioning is needed.
