Holiday picks →Groundnuts→Groundnut paste, peanut butter and groundnut oil
Groundnut paste goes into soup in every home, and smooth peanut butter sells in shops and schools. A small plant shells, roasts, peels and grinds. An oil press later turns the same nuts into oil, and the cake left over into feed.
Bigger, smaller or a different product? Describe it and we plan the line.
What happens from groundnuts to groundnut paste, and the machine for each step. Steps marked “add later” can be done by hand while you start.
Takes the nuts out of the shells, much faster than by hand.

Groundnut oil pressing machinesThe machines a small plant opens with. The other steps are done by hand at first. Already have one of them? Take it out on the quote form before you send, and we price the rest all-in to Accra.
Every machine on the line, for when you are ready to grow, or to start bigger. Already have one of them? Take it out on the quote form before you send, and we price the rest all-in to Accra.
Shellers and grinders come with diesel engines or electric motors; roasters run on gas or electricity. Tell us your power and how many bags a day.
Each machine can be its own order, with its own deposit and instalments. Start with the step that earns, and order the next one from what it brings in.
Starting as a group? Buy it together: each member pays their share from their own phone.

Tick what you already have in place. What is left shows what to sort out before you order.
Agree supply with farmers, aggregators or collectors before you buy machines. A plant waiting for raw material earns nothing.
Talk to traders, shops, schools and exporters, and take them samples. Selling is harder than making.
Machines need a solid floor, a roof, drainage, and room for raw stock and finished goods.
Ask ECG what your site has or can get. We quote machines with a diesel engine or the motor that matches your power.
Food plants wash a lot. A storage tank or borehole keeps you working when the supply stops.
Start with the machine that earns first. With Landed you pay a deposit, then the rest in any amounts while it ships, with no interest.
Register the business with the Office of the Registrar of Companies and get your district assembly’s business permit. Packed food, drinks and cosmetics need FDA Ghana registration.
