Most of the haulage trucks operating in the country are onned by the LPG ‘Marketing Companies (LPG), cnly a few trucks are awned by private transport operators. Due ta the inregular supply of LPG an the Ghanaian ‘market, most retailers ere also investing in haulage trucks so that they can secure thair allocations in times of shortages. TOR and Fuel Trade are the only point for intake of LPG by haulage trucks in the country. The absence of regional storage depots means that all tankers in the country have to travel to Tema, located et the souti-eastem comer of Ghane, [and Takoredi] before they can load the product Cee Tot es Total Petroleum and Fuel trade Total Petroleum and Fuerade Limited are collaborating to construct storage tanks at Tekoradi for LPG.

The state-owned Gnana National Gas Company (GNGO}, in a 1 bilan dollar projec, is constructing a natural gas processing plant, \which wil produce about 840 tonnes of LPG per dey at the plant's full capacity. GNGC is elso constructing an 8,000 tonnes LPG storage faciity for temporary storage of LPG, the infrastructure plans of the company include a jetty facilty for the ofteaking and possible export of the LPG Produced, however i the interim an LPG pipeline of the processing st is being constructed to discharge LPG to BRVs and transport by road.

The South- North Trans-West African Highway traverses the cistrct, thus making it the main gateway tothe Ashanti Ragion from the northern part of the country. This commercial grain drying and storage project will be located in Asompanaye, in the Of fin so North District Assembly. The project site was chosen for various reasone, including: DDfiso North District has attractive attributes for commercial farming, with lange tracts of land available with excellent soll and climate suitable for the production of many crops. Labour is inexpensive with typical farm labour. Offinso North District's vast rescurcas of agricultural land with plentiful water for irigation and available labour meke it ideal for commercial farming of maize, Betiveen 2010 snd 2015, Ghana's maize demand is projected ta grow-at arcompound annual growti- of 26-percent- However, the canny hes experienced average shores indamete maze supplies of 12 percent, The Government of Ghana hes an interest in increasing production of meize to mest the country’s growing demand for ‘maize and to imprave food security. Maize production in Of fin so North District is currently dominated by smaliolder farmers who rely on rainfed condtions with imiced use of improved seeds, ferlizer, mechanization and poscharvestfaciltes.

The third group i the poukry farmers, small scele producers end farmers! ass0cs- tions who will dry and store grains fora short time and release to the marketTarget Market Segment Strategy “The demand for local commercial grain drying and storage services currently substantially exceeds the local supply. The projact wil simukaneously market its services ta the three major customers- urban and per urban maize wholesale traders, maize stockist, institutional buyers and poultry/ small scale farmers. The project will be a magnet for traders who desire ta trade quality grains. These traders willhave their rains cleaned, dried bagged and stared ma cleaned environment, Market Needs Factore such as current trends in grain production in the district and information gathered from district assembly ensure that high demand for commercial grain drying and storage services neecled by urban / peri urban wholesale maize buyers, maize stockist customers, institutional buyers and small scale farmers would increase aver the next fie years. tis envisaged that 50% ofthe urban / perl urban wholesale maize buyers, maize stackist segment of the market will use services ofthe planned commercial rain drying and storage feciltyto be set up; 10% of the institu ‘vonal buyars will use the services of the project and Una remaining 10° will alka use the eervicas ta be provided, Information from the district shows that the annual market potential forthe cammercial grein drying and storage service in the Offnso North Districts about 90,000 tons this is About 30% maize production inthe cstrict. This estimate daes nat includ individuals wha produce maize for their household uses. Drying and Storage Business Analysis Grain storage has traditionally included a mixpure of oft¥arm (commercial) storage facilties and or farm bins. The need for storage hes varied fram year to year depending on the mix of acras planted to each crop and the yielis attained. Higher yields have increased the demand for storage capac in recent years, Racant changes in the price af grains hava caused adaltional acres ta be placed into grain production, increasing the ‘atel rumber of tons to be stored even mare. ‘Sel storing grsin beyond harvest has len a common practice inthe Offinsa- North District for many years. Business Participants Maze in Ghana is extensively traded. Miracle (1956) estimated thst inthe mid-1960s, onethird af Ghana's maize crop was being marketed. The proportion has increased ever the years with the nse f cammmercial farming. Taday at least hal ofthe national maize crop is believed to entar the ‘market (GGOP 1991; Alderman 1991). The extensive marketing of maize has important welfare implications bocause revanues fram maize sales represent an impartant eouree af income for mary households, even hausehelds that grow maize primary to satsty their own consumption requirements. Nationwide, maize accounts for 16.8% of the revenues from crop sales earned by poor households and 18.5% of revenues fram crop sales earned by "hardcore poor households" ‘According ta information provided by the district assembly during the fad vis fr the preparation ofthis business plan it was gathered that there are a number of temporary storage houses in the district but without drying facility, the nearest commercial grain drying and storage facltyis in [Abofour which happens to be an abandoned Faod Distrioution Silo, There is a privately owned discarded small facity in Nkenkasu. Distributing a Service “The dual product! service nature of project's business will make it face competition on two levels. The project competes not only with traders in grain but with the ovmers of the temporal structures. The good news is that the project willnot face crect competition fram drying and storage market. ‘Competition and Buying Patterns ‘Convenience is probably the single mast important factar in the decision af where ta dry and stare grains. The project being sited in Asempanaye the main marketing centre of maize offers the project opportunity to utilize fly its capacity, Competitive Comparison ‘There is na commercial grain drying and storage facityin Dingo - North. The nearest storage faclty without the drying facltias are in Techiman, 'Nkoranza, Wenchi, Abofour and Sekyedumasi, Most of these faclties are notin good working condition. Overall competitive threat ‘The project would have to be properly managed and would need ta invest in technologias that would reduce the unit cost af production in order competitive. Marketing Strategy [Athough there is no information on the current local demand on grain drying and storage, its anticipated thatthe project will have no problems \tilzing full capacity. The project wil follow a diferentiation strategy to achieve a competitive advantage in the grains drying and storage market. ‘The projec wil offer quality service to its clients st @ campative price. Through this, it wil distinguish itself fram other competitors.

Temperae tures are high throughous the year and ranges between 22°C end 26°C, A maximum temperature of 33°C is normally attainable during the very hot seasons. Rainfall is generally heavy during the major seasons between March snd September. The average rainfallis about 750 millmeters. ‘The ares is however very dry curing the harrnatian season when there is no rainfall at all, Humidity is about 60 per cent high. due tothe proximity ofthe s0a, the Volta Fiver and other water bodies, Daily evaporation rates range from 6.4.6.8 millmeters, The relatively high eperetures help in the quick erytallzation of eal for the alt industry, ‘The Demgme East District is well endowed with # lange deposit of sak es a greet economic potential.

Ithas been used since sak crystals wore frst noticed in trapped pools of sea water: ks uss practical only in warm cimates whore the evaporation rato exceads the precipitation rate, ether annually or for extended periods, and ideally, where thore are svaady prvaiing winds. Solar salt production i, typical, the capturing af sak water in shallow ponds where the sun evaporates mast af the vwater. Tha concentrated brine preciptates the salt which is then gathered by merual labour or mechanical harvesting machines. Any impurties thet may be present in the brine are dreined off and discarded prior to harvesting. Usually tno types of ponds are used. First is the concentrating pond, where the sak water from the ocean or sat ake is concentrated, The ‘second is called the crytalizing pond, where the salts actually produced. CCrystalizng ponds range from to 40 to 200 acres with # footéhick flor of sel resuking from years of dapostions. During the salemnaking season ‘oF four to fe months, brine flaws continuously through these ponds. This is a saturated brine solution, containing as much salt 2s t.can hold, so pure salt crytallzos out of the solution as tha water evaporates, Naturally chemical impurttios are retumed tothe sak water source, Rock Salt / Underground Salt Mining Method This is the second oldest method of producing sak: - underground mining. This is probably the most dramatic method of gethering salt. Large ‘machines travel through vast cavedke passageways performing various operations, Salt mines are among the safest of mines. They are alsa the mest comfortable to workin, While mine temperature varies with depth, the average temperature remains about 70° F year round. Salt may appear in veins, as does coal, Veins are the original bedded salt pasts, Salt also may be found in domes, which ware formed when Earth pressures forced sak up through enacks in te bedeock ram depts, As great as 30,000 or 40)000 feet: they nasemble plugs I almastcineu- lar shape a few hundred yards to amile across, Some domes occur close to the surface, Both domes and veins are mined in similar way. Most domes in North America are located inthe south from Alabama ta Texas with many out under water inthe Gulf of Mexico. To enter a salt mine, miners go down a shat from the Earth's surface to the salt bed, There are two shafts in each mine ~ one for personnel and the other to lower materials and equiprent.nto the mine, a6 well a to hoist the mined rock sal: to the surface. The shafts also are used vo delver ‘2 constant supply of fresh air to the miners while they work hundreds ta thousands of feet below the surface, Most mine shafts are lined with a concrete well called a shaft ner. Salts mined by the room and pillar method. I is removed in 8 checkerboard pattem to Iseva permanent, sold sak pilars for mine roof supportUsually 45 to 65 percent ofthe salts removed, The room height may average 18 feet in bedded deposit to 100 feat in a dome mine, "Normally, the first operation is undercutting. Large machines cut a sic 10 or more feed in depth across the bottom of asad sak wall This eves: 2 smoath floor for picking up the sakt efter blasting, 'Naxt, smal holes are drifed into the salt wall to @ depth of 10 or more feet and explosives are losdad inca the drilled holas, After the work shift the explosives are set off electrically, Several hundred to several thausand tons of rock salt are blasted and fal onta the mine floor. Equipments used to load and haul the salt to machines that crush and feed the salt onto @ conveyor belt, The imps are conveyed toa series of stations for crushing and edaltional sizing of the lumps. The sal is then placad in @ storage bin to await hoisting to the surface. ‘The ground processing ofthe rack salt consists of screaning the mined salt nto various markatable eee by sorting trough mechanicaly operate fd screens, When seperated, each size is conveyed to its individual starage bin to await packeging for shipment or to be loaded as bulk salt into railroad cars, tucks, rver barges or laka boats for shipment to customers, ‘Vacuum Evaporated Method Another method of salt production is the evaporation of sak brine by steam heat in large commercial evaporators, called vacuurn pens. This ‘method yields a Very high punty sat in in texture, and principally used in those applications requinng the highest quality sa. ‘The first part. ofthe operation is known as solution mining. Wells are deilled from several hundred to 1.000 feet apart nto the salt deposit, These wall are connected va lateral drling, a recently developed technology. Cnce the wells are connected, tha solution mining aperation begins: watar 's pumped down one well, the sat below is dissohed, and the resulting brine is forced tothe surface through the ather well Bis then piped into large tanks for storage. 'Noxt, the brine is pumped into vacuum pans, These are huge closed vessels under vacuum about three stories high, They are normally arranged in a gore of three, four or five, wth each one in the Ine under greater vacuum than the preceding one. "This serias of vacuum pans operates on 2 very simple principle: Whenever pressure is lowered, the temperature at which water wil boils is alsa lowered. For instance, under normal air pprassure at sea level water boils at 212°F, But at ten thausand feet above sea level, where air pressure is much Fess, water boils at 194° Vacuum pans may operate et as low 2s 00°F.
