Where is guar gum made?

I'm playing with Petroleum Handling. Have recently unlocked Drilling Fluid 2 and would like to make some. But this requires guar gum. The recipe for guar gum is listed in the crafting pane as requiring 150 units of guar bean seeds and 1 unit of plastic bar. Fine. But it also says "Made in:" and then nothing. There is no machine listed as capable of using this recipe. The Factory Planner mod also won't let me add a recipe for guar gum to one of its plans; it produces the message "No existing recipe produces this item."
This looks like a bug. Is it as simple as, the recipe requires a machine that comes from research I haven't done yet? (So, a missing dependency between that research and the "guar" research?) The fact that Factory Planner can't find a machine to run the recipe makes me fear something worse, because usually, Factory Planner will allow adding a recipe with a warning, if it is defined but not yet available. What machine is supposed to be able to make guar gum?
