1. Project Background and Market Demand

As Africa's largest economy, Nigeria's demand for vegetable oils continues to grow, with imports expected to reach 440,000 tons in 2022-2023. Peanut oil, due to its high nutritional value and local production, has become a key alternative to imported palm oil. Peanut crushing accounts for 35.1% of global consumption, and the African market holds significant potential.

2. Technical solutions and equipment selection

• Core equipment : It is recommended to use a screw oil press + hydraulic pressure boosting process. The residual oil rate of the dry cake can be controlled at ≤6%, and the oil yield is increased to 42%.
• Pretreatment system : infrared color sorting + magnetic separation, impurity rate ≤ 0.2%, adapted to the characteristics of Nigerian peanut raw materials.
• Intelligent Control : The system (145°C±2°C) prevents oil and fat from being damaged, and remote diagnosis extends equipment life by 30%.

3. Economic Benefits and Return on Investment

• Investment cost : A medium-sized production line (100 TPD) costs between US$250,000 and US$1,000,000, including transportation and installation.
• Operating profit : Based on a 45% oil yield, 100 tons of peanut kernels can produce 45 tons of oil, with a daily net profit of approximately US$500 (selling price 15 yuan/jin).
• Payback period : 3-5 years under ideal conditions, requiring optimization based on local electricity prices and labor costs.

4. Success Case References

• ‌Raw material supply‌ : It is necessary to ensure the stability of peanut planting area to avoid the risk of production reduction due to demand diversion in 2022‌ 1 .
• Policy support : Pay attention to the subsidy policy of Nigeria’s “Agricultural Modernization Plan” to reduce the pressure of initial investment 6 .
