Are you considering starting a cold press oil business in Pakistan and wondering how much money you could earn each month?

Oil extraction businesses can generate revenue by converting oil-bearing seeds into saleable oil and selling the remaining oil cake (khal). However, a business with high sales does not necessarily have high profits. Actual earnings depend on raw-material prices, oil recovery, product selling prices, operational efficiency and customer volume.

Example: Profit from Processing 100 kg of Oilseeds

Item	Assumption / Calculation	Amount
Seed purchase	100 kg × PKR 320/kg	PKR 32,000
Oil sales	30 kg × PKR 1,300/kg	PKR 39,000
Oil cake sales (khal)	67 kg × PKR 50/kg	PKR 3,350
Variable expenses	Processing, packing, electricity	PKR 3,800
Batch Contribution	PKR 42,350 − PKR 35,800	PKR 6,550

How Much Could You Earn Per Month? (26 Days)

Daily Seed Processing	Monthly Contribution	Assumed Overhead	Operating Result
50 kg/day	PKR 85,150	PKR 120,000	−PKR 34,850
100 kg/day	PKR 170,300	PKR 120,000	PKR 50,300
150 kg/day	PKR 255,450	PKR 120,000	PKR 135,450
200 kg/day	PKR 340,600	PKR 120,000	PKR 220,600

Business Break-Even Calculation

Using the contribution of PKR 65.50/kg and PKR 120,000 overhead, the monthly break-even is 1,832 kg of seeds, or approximately 71 kg of seeds processed per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I earn PKR 200,000 per month from an oil mill?

It is mathematically possible under realistic business assumptions (processing ~200 kg daily), but margins and customer demand must be verified.

What is the biggest expense in oil manufacturing?

Raw seed purchasing typically represents 75% to 85% of total variable production expenses.
