I want the seeds to extract oil from, not to plant. People just throw them away after eating the fruit....so my problem is how do i accumulate bigger quantities or better still get guys to do so and then I collect them at a fee.

@King,
What kind of press are you having to do this?I need a motorized press to extract oil from coconuts(The small manual one I have is too tedious)
You may need to consider opening a 'collection centre' in ukambani or meru where a lot of pumpkins are grown...

@Chaka...I have a motorized screw press that can do both hot and cold press and can extract oil from any type of seed / vegetable. But it is far away from the coconut land!! How can I assist you? When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

@King,
Well,you could point me to where I may get such a press...would be interested in one with a single phase motor i.e not motorized by an engine.

@chaka, Single phase motor will not be of good use. Think 3-phase. See GY-80 oil press HERE There are others but this particular one does very nice job. And its power rating also is very low compared to similar machines from the west. When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

@Jk,
Yes lakini ,KPLC would charge me an arm and a leg to provide it..
On the other hand I asked for a quote for the GY-80 press and it costs USD 3,815 just to ship(I wonder what kind of import duty one would be required to pay?)
@King,
Did you import yours and what was the cost like?

? Have you had a quote from KPLC ? A guy I know who had 3-phase installed in his backyard (Utawala/Embakasi), is not that 'solvent'. He has a press for fixing plactic items like clothe pegs.

@chaka.. Go to http://www.guoyan.com.cn/english2/ordernew.asp and request for a quotation from the manufacturer. The price will be around USD5200 FOB Guangzhou, China. @all....anyone knows where I can get peanuts in plenty from?? I am very interested.

@King,
USD 520 or 5,200...these things are that costly?
Is there a market for groundnut oil in this country?
