J.B Oil Industries

J.B Oil Industries is situated on Hardoi Road, right near the Chungi Chowki. If you walk past, you can’t miss the smell of the oil being pressed. It’s a very strong, sharp scent that stays in your hair and clothes all day. We’ve been running this oil mill for a long time. It’s a messy business, to be honest. No matter how much you scrub, there is always a bit of oil on the floor and the machines. We take seeds, like mustard or groundnut, and we crush them to get the oil out. The machines are old and they clank quite a bit, but they are reliable. We have a small courtyard where the trucks unload the sacks of seeds. It’s a lot of physical labor, moving those heavy bags around. We don’t have any fancy offices or shiny reception areas. There’s just a small corner with a wooden table where we do our paperwork. We aren't trying to sell you a dream or anything like that. We just make oil and sell it to the people who need it. Sometimes the neighbors complain about the noise, but most of them are used to us by now. It’s just an old-fashioned way of making a living, and we are happy enough with it. We just take it one day at a time. The work is hard, but it keeps us going.
