Investment Opportunity: Corn Oil Extraction & Export Manufacturing Unit in India

Global Investment Opportunity in Corn Oil Extraction & Export Plant – India

Business Proposal:

We invite international investors to collaborate in setting up a Corn Oil Extraction Unit in Chhattisgarh, India. This plant will extract edible-grade corn oil from maize germ and supply to both domestic cooking oil markets and global buyers.
