PROJECT DEVELOPMENT – AGRICULTURE

Agribusiness Services Booker Tate has more than 55 years’ global experience in the development of new sugarcane-based projects in Asia, Africa,
Agricultural R&D the Middle East and Central and South America, most recently in Mozambique, Indonesia, Peru and Suriname.
Design Services The establishment of a new project is a complex process that must integrate factory and industrial speci cations,
Field Engineering agricultural production systems and community and environmental sustainability.
Irrigation Systems and Booker Tate’s approach is to ensure that the project is kept to minimum cost while achieving maximum e ciency and long-
Management term pro tability. This is achieved through detailed planning, effective implementation of the agreed project development
Knowledge Transfer programme, and e cient management of operations.

Project Development – Project investigation and assessment
Agriculture The investigation and assessment of a new project will include some or all of the following stages:
Feasibility Studies
Identi cation of a suitable land area;
Project Management – Factory
A preliminary desk-based study of natural resources and climatic potential;
Smallholder Farmers
Site reconnaissance study – a preliminary assessment of the technical and nancial viability of the project; and
Sugar Factory Services
Feasibility study – a full study of the expected capital and operating costs of the project and its technical and nancial

viability that can be used as a ‘Bankable Document’. Typically, the feasibility study would include detailed analysis of
markets for sugar and/or ethanol, product mix and factory speci cations, human resources, infrastructure, nancial
performance, interaction with local communities and environmental sustainability as well as the agricultural aspects of
the new project. It is therefore a fully integrated and in-depth study. A Development Plan is a key outcome of the
feasibility study and forms the basis of the project implementation process.
Project implementation
The Development Plan is an essential component of project planning in that it provides a road map to guide the
implementation programme towards its target objectives. The Development Plan will include details of the key activities
that are required to supply cane to the factory at the right time and in the required quantity. It includes detailed timings of
signi cant actions and outcomes, such as the awarding of tenders for land clearing and major works or orders for
machinery, that are essential for meeting critical project milestones. The plan would include phased capital and operating
costings.
