Why UCO procurement is hard
Supply is fragmented across lakhs of kitchens. Quality varies. Informal aggregators mix lots. Plants then spend more on pre-treatment. A specifications-led RFQ reduces that noise.
What to put in a UCO RFQ
Monthly kilolitres, max FFA, max moisture, delivery location, tanker vs drum, and whether you need RUCO enrolment evidence from the aggregator.
- Target FFA band
- Insoluble impurities limit
- Preferred states of origin
- Contract tenor (spot vs 6 to 12 months)
RUCO and plant offtake
If you are an NFP unit enrolled under RUCO, your aggregators should be authorised to collect from FBOs. Marketplace profiles help you see that chain before you commit volume.
