SAF Feedstock Supply Chain Australia — From Mill to Port
A workable SAF Feedstock Supply Chain Australia buyers can plan around needs more than a willing seller — it needs mapped logistics, documentation and lead times. Here is how Ranjit Oil Mills India structures that chain.
The SAF Feedstock Supply Chain Australia buyers deal with when sourcing from Ranjit Oil Mills India runs from farmer and HORECA collection in Maharashtra, through milling and quality control at our Masur facility, to containerised export via Indian ports, landing at Australian ports with full sourcing and shipping documentation.
Mapping the chain, step by step
What actually sits between our mill and an Australian buyer
Feedstock supply chain discussions often stay abstract, describing a supplier and a buyer without detailing what happens in between. For an Australian buyer assessing lead times, cost and risk, the practical detail of the SAF Feedstock Supply Chain Australia sourcing runs through matters as much as the feedstock specification itself.
Our chain starts with two collection points in Maharashtra: a farmer plantation network supplying Pongamia seed, and a HORECA pickup network supplying used cooking oil. Both feed into our Masur mill, where pressing, filtration and quality checks happen before feedstock is packed for export. From there, consignments move to an Indian port for sea freight, arriving at an Australian port with the documentation package the buyer has agreed with us in advance.
Understanding each link in that chain, rather than treating supply as a black box, is what lets an Australian buyer plan realistic lead times and build contingency into their own production schedule.

Arrival & Handover
Shipments arrive with full documentation to support the buyer's own import and compliance process.
Planning around lead times
Building realistic timelines into an Australian production schedule
Sea freight between Indian and Australian ports takes meaningfully longer than domestic Australian trucking, which means an Australian buyer sourcing feedstock from us needs to plan production schedules around shipping lead times rather than assuming feedstock can be called in on short notice, as might be possible with a local supplier.
We work with buyers early in the relationship to agree indicative shipment windows and recurring order schedules, so that feedstock arrival can be built into their own planning rather than treated as a variable. For buyers running continuous production, agreeing a rolling shipment schedule, rather than negotiating each shipment individually, is usually the more workable approach.
- Sea freight lead times should be built into production planning, not treated as a variable
- Rolling shipment schedules work better than one-off negotiated orders
- Documentation is compiled to travel with the shipment, not requested after the fact
- Two in-house collection networks reduce dependency on external intermediaries
