2. PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT
The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs in project identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, and production, marketing, finance and business management. The document also provides sectoral information, brief on government policies and international scenario, which have some bearing on the project itself. The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors in banana tissue culture by providing them a holistic as well as a micro view of business with the hope that such information as provided herein will help the potential investors in crucial investment decisions. The need to come up with pre-feasibility reports for undocumented or minimally documented sectors attains greater imminence as the research that precedes such reports reveal certain thumbs of rules; best practices developed by existing enterprises by trial and error, and certain industrial norms that become a guiding source regarding various aspects of business set-up and it’s successful management. Apart from carefully studying the whole document one must consider critical aspects provided later on, which form basis of any Investment Decision.
3. INTRODUCTION TO SCHEME
‘Prime Minister’s Youth Business Loan’ program , for young entrepreneurs, with an allocated budget of Rs. 5.0 Billion for the year 2013-14, is designed to provide subsidized financing at 8% mark-up per annum for one hundred thousand (100,000) beneficiaries, through designated financial institutions, initially by the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and the First Women Bank Ltd. (FWBL). Small business loans upto 2 million with tenure up to 8 years, inclusive of a 1 year grace-period and a debt : equity of 90: 10 will be disbursed to SME beneficiaries across Pakistan, covering; Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwah, Balochistan, Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project conceived here envisages establishment of an oil extraction unit with a capacity to provide a paid facility for processing olive fruit and other oilseeds such as rapeseed, mustard, sesame, sunflower and canola for catering their domestic edible oil need near to their doorstep. The project, which is proposed to be located in olive growing areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is likely to cost about 1.500 million and earns attractive return.
The cost of the project and return on the establishment worked out here are tentative and subject to variation depending upon its location and level of fluctuations in the prices of capital inputs, operational inputs and final product. These tentative figures will however, be firmed up at the time of appraisal of project by the financial agency when a sponsor submits his request for financing the unit.
5. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Prospect for establishment of a small-scale edible oil extraction facility for processing the peoples ‘fresh harvested olive fruit and other oilseed son payment, the product and byproduct such as oil and cake, to be used for food cooking and as an animal feed.
Oilseeds Processing Technology: The small-scale oilseeds processing technology is readily available in the country.
Location: The proposed business can be done in Potohar region, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Northern Areas of Pakistan. The unit will be installed at a location convenient to community in the vicinity to easily bring their fresh olive fruit and other oilseeds especially rapeseed, canola, and sesame processing for edible oil.
Target Market: The local communities are encouraged to grow more olive fruit and oilseeds for catering their edible oil needs. In addition to their domestic edible oil needs, they will be able to feed their animals with the production of byproduct i.e. cake.
Employment Generation: The proposed project will provide direct employment to at least four people.
6. CRITICAL FACTORS
Individuals considering entering the oil extraction business must carefully consider the following factors:
a) Technical expertise about effective operation and running of plant machinery and equipment
b) Repair & maintenance of plant, availability of spare parts and accessories
c) Availability of utilities especially electricity; interrupted power supply is very critical
d) Liaison with ender users of this facility
e) Availability of skilled manpower
f) Expertise to optimize the returns
7. INSTALLED AND OPERATIONAL CAPACITIES
For this project, it is assumed that the oil extraction facility will start immediately after the installation of both the units. Average output capacities of olive fruit processing unit and oil expeller will be about 35 and 40 kg per hour, respectively.
Total Operational Cost: the operational cost of oil expellers estimated as Rs. 8.1 per kilogram of oilseeds. The detail of fixed and total operational costs worked out based on some assumption is given as annexure-I & II.
The proposed unit will be consisting of Oil Expeller, Control Panel for units with three phase WAPDA connection, accessories such as weighing scale, fruit washing trays, waste storage drum and tub, oil measuring beaker, and outlet oil container etc..
8. GEOGHRAPHICAL POTENTIAL FOR INVESTMENT
The geographical area for oilseeds is the whole country but the focused area for proposed project is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA.
9. POTENTIAL TARGET MARKET
The potential target market is not very much critical her. The designed project will create a service facility for oilseeds growers and/or domestic users located in the vicinity. The owner will extend this service to the people for processing their fruit of seed for edible oil extraction on payment.
10. PRODUCTION PROCESS FLOW CHARTS
11. OILSEEDS PROCESSING
Cleaning: It is a process of removing the inert materials and impurities from the input seed manually or mechanically. It is assumed here that the seed brought for crushing has already been clean by the user. This facility can also be extended at project site with some extra charges.
Crushing cum Squeezing: The input seed is fed to the crusher through the hopper. The seed is pushed through the edges of moving crusher cum squeezer worm against the stationary concave, where the oil flows through the underneath holes of the concave into the oil collection tray.
Repeat Squeezing Process: The whole squeezing process is repeated three to four times(3-4 passes). The logic behind the repeating mechanism is to get the maximum output oil through crushing of input seed.
Oil collection: The output crude oils collected into the underneath oil collecting tank, from where it is collected and shifted to the owner’s oil transporting pot or oilcan. The instant filtering is done with ordinary cotton cloth. The refining is the responsibility of the owner of output oil before its use as edible oil at home or shelf keeping.
Oil Refining Process: the ordinary oil refining process is very simple and cheap. The output oil is kept in a settling tank or pot for one week or so. The waste material and any other suspension is naturally settled down through sedimentation process leaving a clean oil film on the top. The clean oil is poured down from the top.
