Peanut butter making in Kenya

Make peanut butter in a defined texture and jar size.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional single-ingredient peanut-butter order: 120 sealed jars of 250 net grams, thirty kilograms accepted spread. Sample input is 35 kg documented kernels; five kg is an illustrative combined sort/skin/process-loss allowance, not a normal recovery. A qualified food specialist must approve supplier testing, roasting/pathogen controls, grinder hygiene, packaging, label and actual shelf-life evidence before commercial release. No honey, oil, salt or sugar is silently added.

Who is the first customer?
