Latur-based Yashhtej Industries operates in the production of soybean crude oil through the solvent extraction process and also manufactures soybean de-oiled cake (DOC). DOC, commonly known as soya meal, is the protein- and mineral-rich residue obtained after oil extraction. The crude soybean oil produced by the company requires further refining before being used as edible oil.

The company primarily follows a business-to-business (B2B) model, supplying crude soybean oil to customers engaged in refining operations. Additionally, de-oiled cake (DOC) is mainly used as animal feed in the poultry industry, offering the company a secondary yet significant revenue stream.
