Well, if they indeed do cut out all NPC sell orders for anything that can be produced on planets come May 18, it will be an interesting rollercoaster ride to watch unfold.
If you like watching nearly empty roller coasters. In other words, volume will be very low until prices stabilize.
According to my calculations, and Sisi testing I can have product in Jita (any NPC consumable) within 24-48 hrs of the patch.
The only current problem seems to be that cycles don't repeat automatically and have to be done manually. Way to go CCP (if this is correct) and put more power into the hands of farmers who are on 24/7.
My current calculations show that a suitable planet (not giving my research away) returns about 30-50M ISK per month. Remember these numbers are obviously very fluid depending on price, CCP changes, etc.
Obviously it could be possible to have many planets in a system or multiple systems.
A nice system with different types of planets would be a huge bonus. With a bit of ferrying it will be possible to make the tier 4 items (none of which are for current in game products and possibly for dust)

From my testing it is quite easy to make tier 2 products from 1 planet, and some tier 3 with at least 2 planets.
Tier 4 will require some decent logistics, but most of the outputs looks like it is for the dust expansion (speculation*).
I think initially corps will look to harvest planets to make all the fuel requirements to run their POS. About 6 planets seem to be required 1 large POS per month. It will certainly be easier to make on planet than ice mine.

Starting to get the feel how CCP are launching this.
CCP don't want people to be able to span 100's of colonies on planets and leave them for a month, come back and have a huge amount of material.
With the skill limits on what you can control per character and the requirements for logging in to reactivate extractors, planet interaction is starting to look like an alternative to mission/mining with similar rewards (actually lower).
In a best case scenario I assume that you will be able to get 15-18 colonies per account (3 characters, 5-6 per). Instead of logging in every 15 hrs, it will be once every 24 so about 66% run rate. With good products around 20-50M ISK per planet (obviously massively changeable CCP depending).
Working your account will provide around 1 PLEX per month, roughly equivalent to RP's with 15-18 research agents.
It will be intersting to see what the cost of a good planet set up is (assuming Tres Farmer above), and what the ROI is per month. If the ROI is high enough will new businesses launch from it.
I initially had a plan to make a conglomerate and try and dominate a sgement, but now it looks like something fun to do.

Maybe fun was the wrong word, something else to do in-game.
It will add some income for minimal work.
Maybe the way to go would be to make enough chains in a system to make tier 4 products.
The only cost to run the chain is the initial investment.
Then massively stockpile the Tier 4 product(s) and wait to sell at a new expansion release or when the goods are required.
