1. Executive Summary
This project envisages production of 44 tons or1,333,456 liters of edible oil per annum. The total
investment requirement of the project including the working capital is estimated at about Birr
340 Million; of which nearly Birr 100 Million is the cost of the working capital and Birr 150
Million is for machinery and equipments. Based on the cash flow statement, the calculated
internal rate of return (IRR) and simple rate of return (SRR) of the project are 19.2 % and 16.7
%, respectively. The net present value (NPV) at 18 % discounting rate is about Birr 13,259. The
plant is expected to create employment opportunities for about 6 persons.
Edible oil is used in most food cooking. Even those kinds of food eaten without cooking, such as
salad, need edible oil particularly made for this purpose. Edible oils are rich in monounsaturated
or polyunsaturated fatty acids, and are more desirable than saturated animal fats such as butter.
Besides, butter is a substitute for oil only to a limited extent, as it is abstained from by devout
Coptic Christians during fasting days and seasons (which add up to more than half of the year).
Butter is also often triple or more of the price of oil, particularly in urban areas. For these and
other reasons, edible oils are preferred to animal fats, and demanded in food cooking by
households, hotels and restaurants.

The annual consumption of industrially processed oil in the country can vary yearly depending
on the level of per capita consumption and population size. However, it shows an increasing
trend since both the population size and the per capita consumption (which is a positive function
of economic growth) have been increasing in the past. The annual supply of edible oil, which is
the sum of imports and local production, seem to confirm the same. Although these figures
indicate the trend of edible oil supply they do not show the actual supply of edible oil in the
country since large amount of edible oil is smuggled through different boarder towns( such as
Hart-shek, Moyale and others) of the country. Given this fact, Table 3.1 presents legally
registered imports and local production of edible oil in the country for the past decade.
TABLE 3.1
IMPORTS AND LOCAL PRODUCTION OF EDIBLE OIL
In Tons
As it is shown in the above table, in the past ten years more than 728 thousand tons of edible oil
was supplied; of which only 77 thousand tons (or little more than 10 % of the total supply) is
from the local sources. Assuming edible oil supply is equal to the demand for it in the long run,
on average, more than 73 thousand ton of edible oil was consumed annually for the past ten
years. This implies that the per capita consumption of edible oil in the country was nearly 1Kg or
1.06 liters per annum. The figure will be1.55 Kg or 1.64 liters, if we take the past five years
alone. It should be noted that this computation does not take into account the bulk of edible oil
illegal imports which would make the figure even higher.

3.1.2 Projected Demand
The future demand for edible oil in Ethiopia is conservatively forecasted based on the current per
capita consumption of edible oil and the population growth rate. The current per capita
consumption of edible oil in Ethiopia is estimated to be 2 Kg per annum while 3 % population
growth rate is assumed.
TABLE 3.2
DEMAND PROJECTION FOR EDIBLE OIL IN ETHIOPIA.
As it is given in Table 3.2, the demand for edible oil is forecasted to reach 178,528 tons in 2005
E.C while it is expected to reach 206,963 tons in 2010 E.C. This clearly shows that there exist a
very large demand for edible oil in Ethiopia.
70% of our products will be exported to the international market.The current retail price of
locally pressed edible oil ranges from Birr 50 up to Birr 120 per liter. This project plans to sell its
cleaned pulse at factory gate price of Birr 60 at average per Kg for oil Birr 80 per liter. Besides,
it sells the by-product, oil cake, at Birr 400 per quintal.

3.2 Plant Capacity
The envisaged plant production capacity is estimated to be 183,567,345kg pulse seed cleaning
and 1,333,456 liters of edible oil per annum. The process also provides 100,222 quintals of oil
cake as a by product per annum. This is achieved by pressing 183,567,345 kg of pulse and oil
seeeds per annum 667,517.62 kg day as aresult 4,849 liter oil produced per day. The plant is
assumed to operate, in a single shift 275 working days in a year. This schedule is set by
deducting 52 Sundays, 13 public holidays, 15 days for annual maintenance and 10 days for
unexpected work interruptions.
Since oil milling technology is simple and not new in the country, the envisaged plant is assumed
to utilize higher percentage of its full capacity beginning from the first year of its operation. The
only possible constraint that inhibits full capacity utilization in the first year of the plant
operation is assumed to be raw material procurement. Accordingly, 75 % capacity utilization is
assumed for the first year of the operation while starting from the second year 100 % capacity
utilization is assumed.
The diversified agro-climate conditions of the ANRS favor the cultivation of highly diversified
varieties of oil seeds. Oil seeds grow in large quantities in different parts of the region. These
include sesame, Niger seed, groundnut, flax/rape seed, sunflower, and castor beans.
The annual requirement of the main raw material (i.e. oil seeds) at 100 % capacity utilization
with the associated cost is given in Table 4.1.

Table 4.2
UTILITIES REQUIREMENT
In view of the small scale production under consideration, the press (expeller press) method is
proposed to recover oil from oil seeds and other pulses. This method involves continuous
crushing/pressing of cleaned seeds and filtering of primarily pressed crude oil. The filtered oil is
packed manually. Here, refining is not anticipated.
Alternatively, there is other method of recovering oil from oilseeds; that is solvent extraction.
This method of edible oil extraction is large scale and capital intensive.

TABLE 8.2
PRODUCTION COST AT FULL CAPACITY
I. Profitability
According to the projected income statement (See Annex 4) the project will generate profit
beginning from the first year of operation which increases onwards. The income statement and
other profitability indicators also show that the project is viable.
10
III. Payback Period
Investment cost and income statement projection are used in estimating the project payback
period. The project will payback fully the initial investment less working capital in three years.
SRR= (Net Profit + Interest)/ (Total Investment Outlay) at full capacity utilization.
Based on the foregoing presentation and analysis, we can say that the proposed project possesses
wide range of benefits that complement the financial feasibility obtained earlier. In general, the
envisaged project promotes the socio-economic goals and objectives stated in the strategic plan
of the Amhara National Regional State. These benefits are listed as follows:
A. Profit Generation
The project is found to be financially viable and earns on average a profit of Birr 54 thousand per
year and Birr 539 thousand within the project life. Such result induces the project promoters to
reinvest the profit which, therefore, increases the investment magnitude in the region.
11
B. Tax Revenue
In the project life under consideration, the region will collect about Birr 203 thousand from
corporate tax payment alone (i.e. excluding income tax, sales tax and VAT). Such result create
additional fund for the regional government that will be used in expanding social and other basic
services in the region
As there is no enough Oil Milling Plant in the country, the commencement of this project
relieves a portion of the import burden. That is, based on the projected figure we learn that in the
project life an estimated amount of US Dollar 1.1 million will be saved as a result of the
proposed project. This will create room for the saved hard currency to be allocated to other vital
and strategic sectors
The proposed project is expected to create employment opportunity for several citizens of the
region. That is, it will provide permanent employment to 6 professionals as well as support staff.
Consequently the project creates income of Birr 46 thousand per year. This would be one of the
commendable accomplishments of the project.
The proposed project helps to diversify ANRS’ and Ethiopian economy. It contributes to
industrialization of the region as well as the county’s economy.
