PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR COFFEE PLANTATION FARM

2. Product description and application


Ethiopia is probably the original source of Arabica coffee. Estimates of production today 'vary
from some 10,000 to 20,000 tons per annum. In Ethiopia about 60% of coffee production is
harvested from wild coffee growing in western Ethiopia, with an additional 30-35% coming from
small plots around dwellings, principally in Sidamo Province, and the remainder from
plantations in Kaffa Province. While the intrinsic quality of Ethiopian coffee is good, the low but
slowly improving standards of harvesting and subsequent handling result in low prices for much
of it.

Ethiopia has huge potential to increase coffee production as it is endowed with suitable
elevation, temperature and soil fertility, indigenous quality planting materials, and sufficient
rainfall in the coffee growing belt of the country. Coffee is a shade-loving tree that grows well
under the large indigenous trees such as Cordia Abyssinica and Acacia species. Despite
Ethiopia’s immense potential for increasing coffee production, the land area dedicated to coffee
remains limited at about 3.7 per cent of the total area under crop4 and the average yield remains
very low, 0.73t/ha

The Ethiopian coffee sector, is very important for the country and for its economic development
due to the reasons that: (i) as a major source of cash income and provider of employment, it
supports millions of farming families (for instance, those estimated as dependent on coffee
production and marketing for livelihood are about 20 million) and, (ii) coffee is the first item in
terms of revenue generated from expo rt with a share of about 25 per cent. The coffee sector can
contribute to the growth of the industrial sector share in the national GDP, owing to its high
potential of creating industrial roasting capacity that, at present, is rather marginal. Although the
Ethiopian Government has implemented important reforms, such as the introduction of the
Ethiopian Commodity Exchange for grading and auctioning, the problems of the sector need to be
tackled through a “value chain” approach. In this regard, to Increase the social, environmental and
economic sustainability of the coffee value chain and its export revenue requires an integrated yet
modular value chain approach focusing on: (i) Increase in productivity and sustainability (cultivated
area and yield), (ii) improvement of quality, (iii) increase export and, (iv) Recognition in
international markets of the intrinsic qualities of the Ethiopian Arabica coffee. Increasing
production is important, but the real asset of the Ethiopian coffee resides in its quality that, by

2
PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR COFFEE PLANTATION FARM

obtaining premium prices, could allow avoiding the competition with the “coffee giant”, like
Brazil and Vietnam.

2.1. The significance of the project


The envisaged project deemed to add to the economic development of the nation in general and
zone and district in specific with following ways:

A. 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, payroll income tax and VAT are collected from undertaking business activities. Therefore,
the project will serve as sources of revenue for the district as well as for the region.

B. 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 project will hire 6 individuals in permanent and 100 casual and more
than 45 individual during construction.

C. Sources of social service


In addition to serving as a source of employment and income for the region, the project renders
services for different group of people and farmers who participate on coffee productions.

2.2. Project location


The proposed project is found in Limmu Kossa district of chafe Ilfata kebele; the district is
bordered with Limmu Seka district in the north, Tiro Afata district in the east, Kersa in the south
and Manna district in the south-west,Chora Botor in the North-East and Ilu Ababar Zone in the
North-west. Astronomically it extends between 7050’-8036’N latitudes and 36044’-37029’ E
longitudes. Total area of the district is 1462.46 Km2 at actual. The Agro- climatic or Traditional

3
PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR COFFEE PLANTATION FARM

thermal zones of the district is cool (Dega), whichcover 25% ,65% sub-tropical (Weina Dega),
and the rest 10% tropical (Kolla).

Recently the district was divided in to 44 kebeles. From this, 40 kebeles are peasant associations
and the rest 4 are urban centers. Limuu Genet is the capital town of the district. The population
of peasant associations counted as 175,161 percentages cover 90.48% of the total population and
the rest 18,432 percentages cover 9.52%of the population is urban dwellers.

The proposed project belongs to Seife A/Jebal which is located in Jimma Zone, Limu Kosa
district, and Chefe Ilfata Kebele.T he project site is about 460 km distant from Finfine/Addis
Abeba, the capital city, and 70 km from the capital Town of the Jimma Zone. The project site is
only about 10 km away from all-weather road connecting jimma to Limu genet town. The total
land been proposed for the coffee plantation is is 33.5 ha of land. The total initial investment
capital for the project is 2.3 million Ethiopia Birr.

2.3. Project objectives


The project is basically planned to be established with an objective of generating profit for the
promoter. However, its initiations will benefits the public by planning its significant part in
solving the existing social and economic problems. In this respect the project is aimed to
promote the following objectives:-

 To provide value adding service to the area by using coffee as primary product
 To satisfy customer need by creating utility to the product
 Provide direct and indirect employment to working labor force,
 Facilitate the transfer of improved technologies and bases for the national industrial
development.
 Increase government revenue through the different forms of taxes to facilitate social
economic developments.

2.4.Project demand

Ethiopians are heavy coffee drinkers, ranked among the largest coffee consumers in the world,
such that about half of Ethiopia’s coffee production is locally consumed. Coffee in Ethiopia has
both social and cultural value. It is mainly consumed during social events such as family
gatherings, spiritual celebrations, and at times of mourning. A new development in the Ethiopian
major cities regarding coffee consumption is the increase in regular coffee shops and the
emergence of small roadside stalls selling coffee to passer-by customers. These small roadside
stalls serve coffee in a traditional manner. The demand for coffee also increased with the increment of
world population growth and increment of urbanization in world wide.

5.5. Financial analysis


Profitability
According to the projected income statement, the farm will start generating profit in the 1 nd year
of operation. Important ration such as profit to total sales, net profit to equity (Return on equity)
and net profit plus interest on total investment (return on total investment) show as increasing

trend during the lifetime of the project. The income statement and the other indicators of
profitability show that the project is viable.

i. Pay-Back periods
The investment cost and income statement projection are used to project the pay-back period.
The building’s total investment will be fully recovered at the 5.2 year of operation.

6. Environmental impact of the project


The coffee processing industry is one of the major agro-based industries contributing
significantly to national income of a country. Coffee effluents are the main source of organic
pollution in environment where intensive coffee processing is practiced without appropriate by
product management systems. Environments that are exposed to the effluents generated from
coffee processing plants show change in terms of its physical, biological and chemical behavior
(JARC and EIARC, 2007).

The EIA of the project activities was determined by identifying the environmental aspects and
then undertaking an environmental risk assessment to determine the significant environmental
aspects. The environmental impact assessment has included all phases of the project namely
construction phase and operational phase.

The positive impact of the project is:-

 Generation of employment opportunity


 Source income for the government through business income tax
 Income generation for the promoter
Negative impact of the project

The project has the following negative impacts:

a) Noise and Dust emission during Construction


There are some noises during the construction due to the construction operation and the company
will use construct the construction during the day time. Again there is the emission of dust which
will be mitigated by sprinkling water on the service.

b) Problem on workers on construction


During construction and operation there are some problems that will materialize on workers.
These are: damage on operation by using machines, construction materials and others. To
mitigate such impact the company will provide safety insurance and safety equipment’s.

c) Swages during operation

During operation there are some solid and liquid wastes emitting from the factory and will be
mitigated by using modern recycling technology, concrete construction of lagoon, EM
technology etc..

d) Liquid wastes

The wet coffee processing has needed more water consumption during this phase. The source of
this water is stream located in the area. The processing of this method is follow the following
procedure that discharges the wastewater at each step that will affects the environment. The most
impact is odour and stagnant water leads to different communicable diseases. Generation of
liquid wastes from coffee beans, coat released from coffee processing industry It is anticipated
that the water used at the facility for the AD will be cycled within the process and minimal
amount of water will level the site.

e) Solid waste

The bulk of the solid waste generated during the operation of the plant will consist of coffee
pulping during the process. Waste receptacles will be placed at strategic points to discourage
littering. The incineration method is very appropriate to control solid wastes.

The plant will be erected in such a ways that its adverse effects to the society and environment
are adequately managed. Basically, the project shall be ideal to the environment. To attest
environmental soundness of the project, it requires carrying out the project implication to the
environment and society around. Hence, the promoter is expected to produce ESIA that
elaborates the project environmental viability and associated mitigation measures to sustainable
operate the Wet coffee Hauling plant and provided the envisaged services to the society's
satisfaction.
