The procurement of an electric machine to press peanuts into oil will reduce chronic pain the women experience from the manual labor process. 38 women will be engaged in the business and will be responsible for various tasks along the value chain such as purchasing groundnuts, shelling, sorting, steaming, and finally processing and bottling.
