PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR COFFEE PLANTATION FARM
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

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

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.
As can be seen from Table 2, the sector achieved an average of about 7% growth rate between
1983 1985. In the projection of the demand for packed coffee only the recent five years are
considered. The growth achieved during the period 1991- 1992 by the trade, hotels and
restaurants sector was about 4% and it is applied on the current effective demand. The projected
packed coffee demand is presented in Table 3

3.2.Production Programmed
The annual production programme is formulated on the basis of the market forecast and selected
plant capacity and production potential of the project locality. It is assumed that the plant will
achieve 80% and 100% capacity utilization rate in the third and forth year. Full capacity will be
reached in the second year and onwards. The production programme for Wet milled coffee is
shown in below table.
The major auxiliary Materials in the production of milled coffee comprise packing materials of
various type and size. The packing materials to be used by the plant are sacks bag. The proposed
package sizes of sacks bag for packing of coffee are 50kg and 1 quintal which are planned to
Constitute 75% and 25% of bags, respectively.
The estimated annual requirement for bag at 100% capacity utilization rate and the
corresponding cost estimates are given in below table. Bag of required size, quality and desired
number of colors can be available from local private factories on an order basis
B. Utilities
10
PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR COFFEE PLANTATION FARM
The major utility required by the plant electricity, water and telephone. Annual utility
consumption of the plant at 100 per cent capacity utilization rate is estimated at 12,360 Birr and
expected to increase overtime subject to price adjustment on service use.
Potable water will be required for personal use and quality control laboratory. To promote
frequent contact to the central market and customers at a distant location, the project will install
telephone and ICT appliance to modernize the plant and to access updated information to
enhance capacity.
On the other hand, certain proportion of service taker is expected to take back the milled product
to display to the local market for local consumers at ongoing price. However, the amount to be
produced at full capacity of 10,000 quintals will be owned by the investor and offered to the
market under its full control to sustain the Hauling service to the community and to earn viable
income.

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.
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.

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.
