We are planning a passion fruit farm in Ethiopia, with processing to concentrated juice.Cold presses can squeeze out 60-70% of a seed's oil content. Some better presses can get up to 85% yield. Using a conservative 60%, you should be able to produce 62 tonnes of seed oil.
With 300 ha we will also produce every year around 450t of passion fruit seeds (Passiflora edulis flavicarpa). The seeds in great around 23% oil.
My questions:
How much of oil can you extract out of passion fruit (pressing)?
Is there a market for this oil?
If yes, do you have any information about the value per kg?
