Can I sell oil cake and include it as additional revenue?
Direct Answer
Press cake may have value when it meets a buyer's requirements, but its use depends on the seed, processing and safety assessment. Do not assume every cake is suitable for animal feed or food.
Detailed Engineering Analysis
Identify likely buyers before including cake proceeds in the business forecast. Confirm specifications, moisture, handling and any treatment or testing required. Soybean and non-edible-seed applications need particular care because the press alone does not establish feed suitability. Model revenue using actual buyer offers, less storage and transport costs, and include a conservative scenario with no cake income. Keep cake batches traceable to the seeds and process used.
