mesin destilasi minyak nilam

melihat banyaknya petani nilam yang memproduksi minyak nilam menggunakan mesin destilasi baik buatan sendiri maupun buatan orang lain, membuat saya tertarik untuk mengetahui keefektifan hasil minyak nilam yang dihasilkan.

kebanyakan mereka tidak mengetahui apakah hasil yang mereka peroleh sudah maksimal atau belum. bayangkan ada petani sekali destilasi hanya menghasilkan 7 kg dengan berat daun dan batang  250 kg.

dengan latar belakang itu saya mencoba membuat alat destilasi yang serba otomatis dan hasil yang diperoleh berbeda signifikan dengan yang diperoleh petani, hal ini disebabkan karena petani tidak mengetahui carfa perlakuan bahan baku.

adapun penyebabnya adalah
1. waktu panen daun
2. perlakuan pengeringan
3. cara perlakuan bahan baku sebelum destilasi
4. rancangan mesin yang berbeda

untuk teman-teman yang membutuhkan alat destilasi yang serba otomatis silahkan hubungi kami. adapun penawaran harga mesin kami hanya Rp 65.000.000

yang menjadi kendala juga adalah harga pasar luar negeri yang tidak tranparan bayangkan kemarin saya m,enghubungi importir asal cina mereka menanyakan harga minyak nilam untuk sekali pengiriman 1000 kg, minyak adas 1000 kg, minyak resemary 10 kg, bingung saya kasih harga
jika ada teman yang bisa membantu bisa juga berbagi disini

Essential Oils Business Opportunity

patchouli oil nilam
Talk about non-oil export commodities, essential oils of patchouli is one of the mainstay.Even our country was recorded as the largest exporter of patchouli oil in the world.Although popular in the international market, oddly enough patchouli essential oil is less familiar to our ears. Moreover, little is known patchouli plant with a good figure. Yet this is a business opportunity in the future. Patchouli is one of the 150-200 species of plants producing essential oils. In Indonesia alone there are about 40 - 50 types, but only about 15 species are cultivated commercially.
Patchouli plants Pogostemon patchouli has a cool nickname or Pogostemon cablin Benth, aka Pogostemon Mentha. Originally from the Philippines, but has been developed also in Malaysia, Madagascar, Paraguay, Brazil, and Indonesia. Because of the widely grown in Aceh, Aceh and then also called patchouli. This variety is much cultivated commercially.
Until recently the Special Region of Aceh, especially South and Southeast Aceh, still the largest center of patchouli plants in Indonesia (Directorate General of Plantation, 1997).Followed by North Sumatra (Nias, South Tapanuli), West Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung, Central Java (Banyumas, Banjarnegara), and East Java (Tulungagung). Generally, people are still dominated by small-scale plantations. The potential of this area that can later be used as a promising business opportunities. Because the demand for essential oils in various overseas markets quite a lot. Contribution of volatile oil exports small relative to the value of Indonesia's total foreign exchange. However, there was a rise in demand every year. Even the increase is quite sharp. So the essential oils business opportunity in terms of development the industry is wide open.
Other varieties, Pogostemon heyneanus, originated from India. Also called the java patchouli or patchouli woods as many grown in the forest on the island of Java. There is another Pogostemon hortensis, or patchouli soap (essential oil can be used for washing clothes). Many of the region, Banten, West Java, Java patchouli-like figure of the plant, but not flowering.
Essential oils (or asiri) also called the etheric oil or flying oil (essential oil or volatile). So named because it is easy to fly (yawn) at room temperature (250C) without decomposition. The smell of essential oils are generally typical, according to the type of plants. Is easily soluble in organic solvents, but not water soluble.

Patchouli oil market share

patchouli oil
Indonesian patchouli oil market share is estimated to reach 80% of world exports of patchouli oil, patchouli oil prices ranging from Rp. 500.000, - s / d Rp. 1.000.000, - / Kg level distiller (depending on quality and quality). But often the price is very volatile and tends to go down as well as uncertain, for reasons of quality and quality of patchouli oil we are still low. Quality stills, the harvesting and processing methods are also often used as an excuse by the buyer to suppress the price. In fact we know, the price of perfume almost never go down because of the needs of perfume and cosmetics world must always go up.
Surprisingly Singapore that we know a very small country, known as a world supplier of patchouli oil. The question, "where does Singapore get it?". Of the various opinions among, most of Singapore patchouli oil comes from Indonesia who then diolahnya back to meet the desired quality standards of the consumer, so that Singapore further master the trade of this patchouli.
Price uncertainties make farmers less passionate and less enthusiasm to develop plantations of patchouli. Quality stills or distillation machine that is still low, and the engine is still somewhat rare and difficult to reach by the power of the farmer, also a constraint.Moreover, the function of facilitators, mentoring and empowerment of the government and other stakeholders, are also not going well.
In order for the above issues can be addressed properly by farmers patchouli, particularly those involving up and down selling prices, processing and standardization of quality desired by consumers in foreign countries, may well farm processing (patchouli oil refiners), was given special attention by all state components, especially the government.Attention not only to infrastructure, but also on the trade routes as well as the standardization of quality in accordance with international demand.
The government through the ministries and stakeholders who had been providing assistance, not maximum, and right on target. Might have to go through special attention by the method of assistance and empowerment to groups of patchouli plantation farmer.Cooperation with local government, who have not seen some smooth roads. Perhaps because of the autonomy, sometimes applying her own area may not be suitable and in accordance with the original purpose, so do not bring more value to farmers the benefits of patchouli.
Cooperation with consultant mentoring and empowerment, may also be a solution, as long as the process is transparent, ready and able in the audit and the expected achievements can also be measured and accounted for clearly.
Indonesia hopes that farmers could patchouli smart and advanced, it will greatly assist the State in mengenjot economic growth and improve export competitiveness. This could bring many benefits including: Tax revenues go up, unemployment is reduced, prosperous farmers, farmers' purchasing power rose and finished it the name of the nation Indonesia because Indonesian patchouli farmers can meet the international quality standardization in processing plants to become oil patchouli patchouli-quality.
