1. Introduction
Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in Africa and the contribution of livestock
and livestock products to the agricultural economy is significant. Recent figures indicate
that the livestock sector contributes about 12-16% of national GDP, 30-35% of
agricultural GDP, 15% of export earnings and 30% of agricultural employment.
Livestock contribute to the livelihoods of 60-70% of the population Smallholder farmers
represent about 85% of the population and are responsible for 98% of the milk
production. Productivity however is relatively low, quality feeds are difficult to obtain
and support services are inadequate.
There is an immediate and growing shortage of dairy products in all major cities of
Ethiopia and the trends of economic prospects for dairy industry performance and
development are rather good both at small holder level and on more commercial level.
Rapidly increasing population size with a growing urban population is resulting in a
growing demand for dairy products. Dairy development can lead to income generating
activities, increasing incomes, transfer technology and create employment opportunities.
The analysis of the support market and dairy business services revel that the dairy
industry is immature and young, competition barely exist, basic services are either not
existing or inadequate. In general, it offers wide opportunity for investment in dairy and
related businesses. The investment opportunities are immense. The potential is within the
grasp of investors. It only needs adapting the technology, capital and human resources to
specific market niche and opportunity excising or to be developed a new Conducive
government policies, laws and regulations as part of the economic liberalization program
besides investment incentives are necessary to smooth the progress of easy entry in to and
expand the investment opportunities in the Ethiopian dairy industry. To this effect, with
the objective of promoting smallholder and commercial dairy production and the inflow
of foreign capital and technology into the country, the Ethiopian government provides
various packages of fiscal incentives to both foreign and domestic investors engaged in
establishing new enterprises and expansions. In this regard, the owner of the envisioned
plant planned to invest and carried out this pre-project study to check the market,
technical and financial feasibility of this project. The result of the study is very sound and
2
romising for the owner to start the project in this area. That is this opportunity that
initiates the promoter to develop the project.
1.1 The project
1.1.1 Project Justification

Ethiopia is one of the countries whose potential for sustainable economic growth lies on
the agriculture sector. The sector takes lion’s share of the GDP and foreign exchange
earnings of the country It also provides a major part of the population food feed and
employment opportunity.
The country has a significant agricultural potential and endowed with vast agricultural
land, fertile soil and moderate climatic condition suitable for agricultural production
specially that supports dairy farm and milk processing sector. Rapidly increasing
population size mainly with a growing urban population is resulting in a growing demand
for dairy products. Dairy development can lead to income generating activities, transfer
technology, generate foreign currency and create employment opportunities.
Though, The Government aims at stimulating dairy industry (Dairy farm and milk
marketing) in potential areas dairy product processing and marketing are not developed
well with demand on the market. .
Though, the formal market appears to be expanding with the private sector entering the
dairy processing. It is believed that though there is immense potential on this sector our
country did not use efficiently.
The project is believed to have a significant social and economic benefit that accrue to
the society beyond financial returns to the owner of the project
In addition to the above facts, the following points further explain the rationales for
establishment for the envisioned plant by the owners.
 High market demand and few plant in this sector
 High population.
 Favorable and attractive investment incentives packages by the governments
3
 Availability of skilled labor force at reasonable price.

 Availability of infrastructure
1.1.2 Objectives
1.1.2.1 General Objectives
 To supply quality and enough quantity dairy products to the market at fair price to
meet the market demand.
1.1.2.2 Specific Objectives

 Support development of small and medium business and farmers in rural areas by
distributing modern technologies
 Increase employment opportunity
 Increase workers’ income
 Decrease dairy products import and begin export by using up-to-date technologies
in dairy products industry and generate foreign currency
 Generate revenue to the government in the form of tax and land lease payment
and others
 To drive fair profit to the owner of the project
 The existing conducive social and investment saturations and increase number of
private investment in the area for the value chain
1.1.3 The Economic significance of the Project
The envisaged project deemed to contribute to the economic development of the nation in
general and the region in specific with following ways:
A. Supply of quality dairy products
The project under discussion will provide quality and fair priced dairy products for the
country market.
4
B. Value add
The establishment of this plant will add a value to the dairy industry sector in specific and
in the economy in general.
C. Source of revenue
As public policy of any nation, the government collects different forms of taxes from
different business organizations and individuals. Among the different forms of taxes,
business income taxes, VAT and payroll taxes are collected from undertaking business
activities. Therefore, the plant will serve as sources of revenue for both the region and
nation in general.
D. Employment opportunity
One of the problems that our country faced is unemployment. Therefore, the current
objective of the government is working on tackling the problem of unemployment and
fostering the development process either through creating self employment or
employment in other organization. Hence, this plant will hire around 150 persons.
E. Save the country’s foreign exchange
By minimizing the market gab for dairy products demand and supply, the plant will help
to reduce the nation’s foreign exchange cost to import these products. This will save the
foreign exchange resource of the nation.
F. Benefit for the local community
As a corporate responsibility the company will engage in different development activities

on the surrounding areas. This will better worse the community and contribute for the
development of the region.
5
G. Stimulate the local and national economy
This factory has positive externality in the zone that will encourage the economic
movement of local economy. Hence, there will be economic relationship and transactions
among different actors.
H. Technology transfer
By dairy industry, the project will train and develops the capacity of the staffs. By doing
this, the plant will add value in technology transfer for the nation.
1.1.4 Location and premises required
1.1.4.1 Location
The envisaged project is planned to be established in OSZSF zone, Akaki Woreda ,
Oromia National Regional State. Akaki Woreda is center of Special zone is situated at
about 38 kms away from Addis Ababa. it is accessible all year round with all types of
motor vehicles. The area is conducive social and investment situations, ease of future
development and increase number of private investment in the area are some of the
reasons behind selecting the area for the proposed project.

2. Dairy Industry Development in Ethiopia in market demand and supply aspect

2.1 Overview of Livestock Sector
The Ethiopian economy is highly dependent on agriculture. Despite being more
subsistence, agricultural production plays an important role in the economy. In the late
1980s, agriculture contributed about 45% of national GDP while the livestock sector,
despite large population size1, contributed about 12-16% of national GDP, 30-35% of
agricultural GDP, 15% of export earnings and 30% of agricultural employment.
Livestock contributes to the livelihoods of 60-70% of the Ethiopian population2 (Aklilu

2002; Ayele et al.2003; Ejigu 2003) in one way or the other. It is raised in all of the
farming systems by pastoralists, agro-pastoralists, and crop-livestock farmers. The rural
dairy system is part of the subsistence farming systems that are mainly concentrated in
the highlands, but also in the lowlands. Pastoralist is the major system of milk production
in the lowlands. It is estimated that about 30% of the livestock population are
found in the pastoral areas3. Nevertheless, because of the erratic nature of rainfall that
results in shortage of feed availability, milk production is low and highly seasonal.
Over the last 30 years, national and per capita production and consumption of livestock
products have declined (Ayele et al. 2003). During 1993-2001, per capita income
remained at about USD100. Livestock production increased by much less than the
production increase for the agriculture sector as a whole, so relative share of livestock to
agricultural GDP declined. Hence, per capita livestock output fell by 5% while crop and
agriculture grew by 14 and 6% respectively (Halderman 2004).

2.2 Dairy Production Systems in Ethiopia

Ethiopia holds large potential for dairy development. In addition, the country enjoys
diverse topographic and climatic conditions favorable for dairying. These consist of a
high central plateau ranging from 1,800 to 3,000 meters above sea level, a rift valley that
divides the country from north to south with altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 metres
above sea level and lowland plain areas of less than 1,000 metres above sea level in
altitude. Depending on the altitude difference, temperature ranges from less than 100 C in
alpine areas to 350 C and more in lowland areas. Moreover, rainfall in most of the
country is adequate for crop and pasture production.
The favorable climate throughout the country supports use of improved, high-yielding
animal breeds and offers a relatively disease-free environment for livestock development.
Given the high potential for dairy development and the ongoing policy reforms and
technological interventions, success similar to that realized in the neigh bouring Kenya
under a very similar production environment is expected in Ethiopia
The Ethiopian highlands possess a high potential for dairy development. They occupy the
central part of the Ethiopia, cover over 40% (approx. 490.000 km2) of the country area
and are the largest of their kind in Sub- Saharan Africa. In the highland areas, the
agricultural production system is predominantly subsistence smallholder mixed farming,
with crop and livestock husbandry typically practiced with in the same management unit.
The dairy sector in Ethiopia can also be categorized based on market-orientation, scale,
and production 1 Ethiopia currently manages the largest livestock population in Africa,
estimated at 29 million cattle, 24 million sheep and 18 million goats, 7 million equines, 1
million camels and 53 million poultry. The country holds 2.4% of the world, 3.4% of
developing countries and 15.9% of Africa cattle population (ILRI, 2000).
When considering the economic dependency of the rural population it was estimated that
7.8% are purely livestock dependent, 14.6% predominantly livestock dependent and
74.5% dependent on crop production (Winrock, 1992). The pastoralist livestock
9
production system which supports an estimated 10% of the human population covers 50-
60% of the total land area mostly lying at altitudes ranging from below 1500 masl.
The traditional smallholder system corresponds to the rural milk production system.
Both the pastoralists and smallholder farmers produce 98% of the national milk
production (MOA, 1993) and 75% of the commercial milk production. The majority of
milking cows are indigenous Zebu breeds with low production performance (average age
at first calving of 53 months and average calving intervals of 25 months). Cows had three
to four calves before leaving the herd at 11-13 years of age and the average lactation
yield is 524 litres/ cow for 239 days (of which 45% is off take for human use while 55%
is suckled by the calf).
The state dairy farms used to be known as the Dairy Development Enterprises. The
farms mostly use grade animals (those with more than 87.5% exotic blood) and are
concentrated within 38 km distance around Addis Ababa.
The first attempt to introduce modern dairy production in the country was made by the
Imperial regime in 1947, when 300 Friesian and Brown Swiss dairy cattle were received
as a donation from the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. A small
milk processing plant was established in Addis Ababa to support commercial dairy
production (Yigezu 2000). With the introduction of these cattle in the country,
commercial liquid milk production started on large farms in Addis Ababa (and Asmera).
Most interventions during this period was focused on urban-based production and
marketing.
During the second half of the 1960s, dairy production in the Addis Ababa area began to
develop rapidly as a result of the expansion in large private dairy farms and the
participation of smallholder producers. With the advent of modern dairying, the
government established the Addis Ababa Dairy Industry in 1966 and, later on, the Dairy
Development Agency (DDA) in 1971 to control and organize the collection, processing
and distribution of locally produced milk. By 1972, the DDA was receiving about 21,000
10
litres milk/ day for processing, of which 57% come from 65 large farms. In addition to
collecting milk, the DDA sold milk and dairy products through its kiosks and shops as
well as to institutions.
It also facilitated the creation of dairy cooperatives to ease the provision of credit and
technical and extension service to dairy producers. In 1979 it was merged with numerous
other nationalized dairy farms to establish the Dairy Development Enterprise (DDE). The
DDE includes large dairy farms, milk collection networks, and a processing plant.
The DDE, which is privatized in 2007and changed its name to Lame Dairy, has a
capacity to process 60,000 litres of milk at its inception (Yigezu, 2000). DDE is
privatized and re-named as LAME. With the downfall of the Derg regime in 1991, as a
result of the country’s policy reforms that aim to bring about a market-oriented economic
system, the private sector has begun to enter the dairy sector and market as an important
actor. Many private investors have established small and large dairy farms.
This commercial farms use grade and crossbred animals that have the potential to
produce 1120-2500 litres over 279 day lactation. This production system is now
expanding in the highlands among mixed crop-livestock farmers, such as those found in
Selale, Ada’a and Holetta, and serves as the major milk supplier to the urban market.
Additionally, some ten private investors and one cooperative union have established
milk-processing plants to supply fresh processed milk and dairy products to Addis
Ababa, Dire Dawa and Dessie towns.
 The Sebeta Agro Industry, the biggest dairy-processing in Ethiopia, has a capacity to
process around 30,000 litres of milk per day. Around 6000-10000 litres of this milk
come from the owner’s dairy farm with 600 cows. Currently, the market share of this
company has exceeded that of the DDE’s (now LAME).
 The other private milk-processing plants established in and around Addis Ababa are
FAMILY, LEMA, Genesis, Ada’a dairy cooperative and Dinsho dairy industries that
have already started marketing their products. Although their market share are still
small compared to DDE and Sebeta Agro- Industry.
11
 Selale Milk Producers Cooperative Union is established by thirty-two milk marketing

cooperatives that have been established by the Small Dairy Development Project
(SDDP) of MoA financed and The development of modern dairying is comparatively
recent and its start-up only dates back to the post world war II time.
2.3 Trend and Performance of Dairy Industry

Between 1961 and 1974, milk production increased by 16.6% from 637,400 to 743,100
metric tons with an average annual growth rate of 1.6%. This growth was largely due to
the economies of scale in production as well as marketing, subsidies in transport to the
formal market, secured land tenure and an active free market for feed and other inputs
(Staal et al., 1996). On a per capita basis, however, milk production declined during this
period at an average rate of 0.87% per annum.
Processed milk production has stagnated in the early 1960s but expanded significantly in
the second half of 1960s and early 1970s. To bridge the gap between supply and demand,
dairy imports increased significantly beginning from 1978. This was partly due to
increased food aid milk powder imports by WFP, and a level of dairy production
development that lagged far behind the demand. Imports reached a peak of 314,700
metric tons in 1986 during the drought period (Reda, 2001). During the period between
1977 and 1989, dairy imports as a percent of total consumption increased from 4.1% to
12.8%. Commercial imports grew rapidly at 24.2% per year (Felleke and Geda, 2001).
Further, it is estimated that imported milk powder accounted for 23% of Addis Ababa
market.
Post 1991 producer groups such as the Addis Ababa Dairy Producers Association
(AADPA) emerged encompassing 90% of all urban dairy producers and a large
proportion of peri-urban producers within a radius of 38km of Addis Ababa (Staal 1995).
Milk production grew faster in the post reform period, at an annual growth rate of 3%.
Per capita milk production stagnated though grew at a positive but insignificant rate. This
represents a reversal or termination of the negative trend in the growth of per capita
production during the previous two phases.
12
Using rough estimates from the FAO database and available information from DDE and
Felleke and Geda (2001), the contribution of imported milk to total milk consumption
declined from 24% in 1985 to less than 1% in 2000. At the same time, the share of
government-owned enterprises in total milk production decreased markedly. In contrast,
the share of smallholder production in total consumption increased by 30% from 71% to
97%. To sum up, total milk production in Ethiopia increased during the 1961-2000 period
at an average annual rate of 1.55% though per capita production declined as a result of
the high population growth rate.
However, during the last decade production grew at a higher rate of 3%. The increased
coverage of extension services (such as better management skills) and increased use of
improved inputs (improved breeds and feed) and policy changes promoting dairy
production have contributed to faster growth of the sub-sector. Dairy product imports
during this period were relatively smaller than the previous three decades. Most of the
growth during the 90’s is concentrated in the peri-urban and rural production systems.
The emergence of private processing industries and marketing units have stimulated
producers in the peri-urban areas and rural production systems as it offered them a new
market for their milk production.
On the whole, dairy processing and marketing function was being performed at various
levels; parastatal sector (DDE) had dominated the dairy industry scene until late 90’s
where private sector and cooperative sector appeared to play significant roles in
collecting and processing milk. Under the current market-oriented economic system,
private sector involvement in milk marketing was emerging alongside co-operative
marketing organizations. The privatisation of DDE in 2007 marked the end of the
parastatal dairy production system in Ethiopia.
2.4 Dairy Marketing System

As is common in other African countries (e.g., Kenya and Uganda), dairy products in
Ethiopia are channeled to consumers through both formal and informal dairy marketing
13
systems. Until 1991, the formal market of cold chain, pasteurized milk was exclusively
dominated by the DDE which supplied 12% of the total fresh milk in Addis Ababa
(Holloway et al., 2000). Even though the proportion of milk Two are established by
FAO/TCP (Technical Cooperation Programme) and World Food Programme.
The informal market involves direct delivery of fresh milk by producers to consumer in
the immediate neighborhood or sale to itinerant traders or individuals in nearby towns. In
the informal market, milk may pass from producers to consumers directly or through two
or more market agents. The informal system is characterized by no licensing requirement
to operate, low cost of operations, high producer price compared to formal market and no
regulation of operations.
In Ethiopia, 95% of the national milk is marketed through informal channels and is
unprocessed. The traditional processing and marketing of dairy products, especially
traditional soured butter, dominate the Ethiopian dairy sector. Only 5% of the milk
produced is marketed as liquid milk due to underdevelopment of infrastructures in rural
areas. Hence, the informal (traditional) market has remained dominant in Ethiopia.
Production is non-market oriented and most of the milk produced is retained for home
consumption.
Formal milk markets are particularly limited to peri-urban areas and Addis Ababa. The
formal market appears to be expanding during the last decade with the private sector
entering the dairy processing industry in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa and Dessie towns.
The Lame Dairy (formerly DDE), collects milk for processing from different sources,
including large commercial farms and milk collection centres that receive milk from
smallholder producers. The enterprise operates 25 milk collection centres located around
Addis Ababa, of which 13 located around Selale, 5 around Holetta and 7 around Debre
Brehane. Ten private milk processing plants have entered the milk marketing and
processing, increasing the amount of milk channelled via the formal markets.
14
Recent study by Teferra Abreha (2006) indicates that in Addis Ababa milk shed there are
about 66,770 cattle of which 46.5% were estimated to be crossbred dairy cows. The peri-
urban milk system includes smallholder and commercial dairy farms found in the
proximity of Addis Ababa, secondary and other regional towns. In some case intensive
production units based on stall feeding of crossbred and high grade cows is practiced.
This sector controls most of the country’s improved dairy stock. The urban and peri-
urban dairy farmers produce 2% of the total milk production of the country. The total
estimated milk supplied to Addis Ababa annually is65 million litres
Sebeta Agro Industry established the first UHT6 dairy processing facility in the country.
The new production lines will produce 500ml carton pouches (Tetra Fino Aseptic) and
250ml portion packages (Tetra Brik Aseptic). The DDE, now LAME, produces
pasteurized milk in 500ml plastic pouches. The introduction of UHT dairy products on
the market is a great step forward to offset the seasonality in milk production and
consumption. Share of milk sold in the formal market is insignificant in Ethiopia, less
than 2%, compared to 15% share in Kenya and 5% in Uganda (Muriuki and Thorpe,
2001).
Ethiopia there is no market for dairy, exception in few major urban areas. Absent markets
affect the overall dairy production and consumption in the country. UHT products are
aseptically processed and packaged, which gives them a shelf life of 6-12 months without
the need for cooling during storage and transportation.
2.5 Milk Consumption in Ethiopia

Milk Consumption in Ethiopia shows that most consumers prefer purchasing of raw milk
because of its natural flavour (high fat content), availability and lower price. Specific
upper income market segments prefer and can afford packaged processed milk.
Packaging costs alone may add up to 25% of the cost of processed milk depending on the
type of packaging used. Polythene sachets of processed milk are cheaper alternatives.
Ethiopians consume less dairy products than other African countries and far less than the
world consumption. The present national average capita consumption of milk is
19kg/year as compared to 27 kg for other African countries and 100kg to the world per
15
capita consumption (FAO, 2003). The recommended per capita milk consumption is 200
litre/year. On the other hand, they regularly consume other dairy products such as butter,
ayib (cottage cheese) and fermented milk. According to the Central Statistics Authority
(2005) only 15.4% of the milk produced is sold in the market where as 54.7% milk
produced is consumed at home.
The remaining, 29.5% of the milk produced, is converted into butter and cottage cheese
or ayib using traditional processing technologies. It is to be expected that these
proportions would start to change as collection infrastructures improve around the
country. There are differences in the demand for milk between rural and urban
population. The demand for milk in rural areas is mainly for fresh whole milk and this
demand is partially satisfied by home production and or purchased from neighboring
producers. The demand for processed milk in the rural areas, is currently nil and expected
not to change significantly in the near future.
The potential market for surplus milk which will have to be processed is found in the 7%
urban population, i.e. 4 million people. Sixty five percent of this market is formed by
Addis Ababa and the surrounding districts. The principal demand will continue to be
fluid milk, much of which will be supplied through informal channels. In rural areas,
consumption of milk and milk products is heavily influenced by livestock ownership, but
in the urban areas, in particular, the principal determinant of consumption levels is
income. The growth in demand resulted from rapidly growing population, urbanization,
change in life style and consumption behaviors, and some increase in per capita incomes.

Note:- All this description is linkage to others farmers to supply that
A) Powdered Milk production
21
Ethiopia imports powdered milk that is used in the food industry and for domestic
consumption. Beginning from 1978 dairy imports increased significantly to bridge the
gap between supply and demand. Powder milk imports (WFP) has reached its peak of
315 thousand metric tons in 1986 during the drought period (Reda 2001). Commercial
imports grew rapidly at 24.2% per year (Felleke and Geda, 2001). Further, it is estimated
that imported milk powder accounts for 23% of Addis Ababa market.
Processing surplus milk into powdered milk would reduce post-harvest losses and add
value to a product for both the domestic and regional market. The ideal location for the
powdered milk plant is the in and around Addis Ababa, including the peri-urban areas
within the radius of 100km. This location would take advantage of the milk surplus in
this production area, largely reduce transport costs for the raw milk and has proximity to
the regional market of COMESA, ESA and Middle East.

B) Production of Butter and Ghee

Traditional, fermented butter (kibe), which is used mainly for cooking, is mostly made in
Ethiopia. Although insignificant amount butter produced in the dairy processing, Ethiopia
imports considerable amounts of butter mainly from Kenya and Europe. Farmers produce
butter and ghee mainly on a small scale which is used for domestic consumption and sale.
A lot of small scale dairy processers have started production of butter and ghee and its
production has increased. This could be an entry point and good investment opportunities
in the dairy industry.
22
 In year 1, 4,00,000.00 kg butter is produced and sales will be birr 60/kg that
generates birr 240,000.00/year.
 In year 4, 5,512.50 kg butter is produced and sales will be birr 65/kg that generates
birr 358,312.50/year.
 In year 5, 5,788.00 kg butter is produced and sales will be birr 70/kg that generates
birr 405,168.75/year.
 In year 6-10, 6,077.00 kg butter is produced and sales will be birr 70/kg that
C)Cheese production
Few private firms produce cheeses as their principle products. The DDE and Sebeta Agro
industry produce pasteurized (table/bread) butter; yogurt and various type of cheese
(apart from cottage cheese or ‘ayib’) apart from being imported. The country still imports
cheese. Cheese production provides yet another investment opportunity.
 In year 1, 3,000 cheese will be produced and sales will be birr 12/unit that generates
birr 36,000.00/year.
 In year 6-10 , 3,889 cheese will be produced and sales will be birr 15/unit that
D)Yoghurt and Cultured milk production

23
Among the dairy products consumed by Ethiopians, raw milk, yoghurt, sours (ergo) and
pasteurized milk is mostly made in Ethiopia. The Lame Dairy, Sebeta Agro-industry,
Genesis Farm are the leading yoghurt producing firms. However, other private firms
produce and sell yoghurt. Cultured yoghurt or ergo is very popular countrywide and its
demand are expected to grow. However, its production is by small-scale processors and
the informal sector. Investment by the formal sector is required in order to exploit this
market and develop it further.
 In year 1, 260,000.00 lit flavored yogurt is produced and sales will be birr 10/lit that
generate birr 2,600,00.00/year.
 In year 4, 319,725 lit flavored yogurt is produced and sales will be birr 11/lit that
 In year 5, 3,35,711.25 lit flavored yogurt is produced and sales will be birr 12/lit that
 In year 6, 352,496 lit flavored yogurt is produced and sales will be birr 14/lit that
Cream and ice cream

Some cooperatives and private dairy companies produce cream for the open market.
Production of cream can be profitable because most of the ice-cream (a product made
from cream) is imported to meet the demand for the local market. The number of firms
producing ice cream has increased in the last few years. Although most of the ice-cream
producing firms are concentrated around Addis Ababa, there is an untapped market in the
main urban centres of the country.
 In year 1, 2,000 cream will be produced and sales will be birr 15/unit that generates
24
 . In year 2, 2,300 cream will be produced and sales will be birr 15/unit that

6.6 FINANCIAL EVALUATION

A) Profitability
Based on the projected profit and loss statement, the project will face loss on the first
year and generate a profit through out its operation when it starts at full capacity. Annual
net profit after tax will grow from Birr 5,737,753.98 to Birr 13,334,044.65 during the life
of the project..
B) Ratios
In financial analysis financial ratios and efficiency ratios are used as an index or yardstick
for evaluating the financial position of a firm. It is also an indicator for the strength and
weakness of the firm or a project. Using the year-end balance sheet figures and other
relevant data, the most important ratios such as return on sales which is computed by
dividing net income by revenue, return on assets ( operating income divided by assets),
return on equity ( net profit divided by equity) and return on total investment ( net profit
plus interest divided by total investment) has been carried out over the period of the
project life and all the results are found to be satisfactory.
C) Break-even Analysis
The break-even analysis establishes a relationship between operation costs and revenues.
It indicates the level at which costs and revenue are in equilibrium. To this end, the
break-even point of the project including cost of finance when it starts to operate at full
capacity ( year 3) is estimated by using income statement projection.
BE = Fixed Cost = 23 %
Sales – Variable Cost
D) Payback Period
The pay back period, also called pay – off period is defined as the period required
recovering the original investment outlay through the accumulated net cash flows earned
by the project. Accordingly, based on the projected cash flow it is estimated that the
project’s initial investment will be fully recovered within 4 years.

E) Internal Rate of Return
The internal rate of return (IRR) is the annualized effective compounded return rate that
can be earned on the invested capital, i.e., the yield on the investment. Put another way,
the internal rate of return for an investment is the discount rate that makes the net present
value of the investment's income stream total to zero. It is an indicator of the efficiency or
quality of an investment. A project is a good investment proposition if its IRR is greater
than the rate of return that could be earned by alternate investments or putting the money
in a bank account. Accordingly, the IRR of this porject is computed viable indicating
the vaiability of the project.
F) Net Present Value
Net present value (NPV) is defined as the total present ( discounted) value of a time
series of cash flows. NPV aggregates cash flows that occur during different periods of
time during the life of a project in to a common measuring unit i.e. present value. It is a
standard method for using the time value of money to appraise long-term projects. NPV
is an indicator of how much value an investment or project adds to the capital invested. In
principal a project is accepted if the NPV is non-negative.
Accordingly, the net present value of the project is found to be is acceptable.
5. Future Development
Every business undertakings be it large or small should have future development plan. It
is a plain fact that business activities are undertook in a dynamic business nature and
different environment. Therefore, the plant will have an expansion phase depending on
the condition of the sector character particularly in dairy farm and milk processing plant.
