The government of Ethiopia has developed conducive investment policy packages and other sectorial
reforms at federal and regional level to attract a huge private investment for the wellbeing of the nation and
its citizens as a whole. Besides, it is also currently implementing home grown economic model that gave a
special focus for manufacturing industries.
In this regard, the Tigray Regional State government has been exerting its maximum effort to expand
investment opportunities in the region, so as to foster the economic development of the region and
subduing the region’s big enemy that is the trap of poverty. Therefore, the regional government has been
preparing a viable business environment to attract many domestic and foreign investors so that the dream of
making poverty history turns to be true.
Therefore, the lucrative market potential and those viable investment policies have attracted Mr.
KIFLEMARIAM KINDEYA to engage in cold storage and import and export of food related
products in Tigray region Mekele city on lease land holding of 14,000 Sq. meters with investment cost

MARKET STUDY
Since there is no product specific market research data, we prefer to employ data from internet sources for the
global overview and that of different research out puts for the Sub-Saharan and Ethiopia's case. Some written
literatures on cold storage and import and export of food related products still insist developing countries to
continue cold storage industry to generate foreign currency by export of locally produced products, since
storing, logistics and export is labor intensive and involves labor at large. On the other hand developed
countries may not have interest to continue in the sector as the effect of high labor charge and expensiveness of
technology. And the study is presented below based on the products of this proposed investment which is cold
storage and import and export of food related products.
Rising demand for temperature-sensitive products: With increasing emphasis on fresh and healthy food,
pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive goods, the need for safe and efficient cold storage solutions is
escalating.
Growth in organized retail: Developing economies are witnessing a surge in organized retail, leading to
higher demand for cold storage infrastructure to support logistics and supply chains.
Stringent regulations: Stricter regulations governing food safety and temperature-controlled product handling
are pushing businesses to invest in robust cold storage facilities.
Technological advancements: Automation and AI integration in cold storage facilities are improving
efficiency, reducing costs, and minimizing product spoilage, further fueling market growth.
However, it's important to note that these projections vary slightly depending on the research firm and its
methodology. Additionally, specific segments within the cold storage market might experience different growth
rates based on factors like application (food vs. pharmaceuticals), type of storage (warehouses vs. reefer
containers), and geographic location.
11
Global Market
The global cold storage market size was valued at USD 138.97 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% during the forecast period. The market has benefitted
significantly from the stringent regulations governing the production and supply of temperature-sensitive
products.
Its expansion can be linked to rising demand for cold storage in commercial and industrial organizations, as
well as regulatory compliance demands. The majority of the expansion was seen in emerging nations such as
India, China, Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico, among others.
According to the cold storage industry, 53% of enterprises want to enhance their cold storage capacity.
Increasing demand for food and pharmaceuticals, as well as a greater emphasis on safety, has resulted in a rise
in demand for cold storage space.
In 2022, the frozen category led the market, accounting for around 77.3% of worldwide sales. Increasing frozen
food consumption in emerging nations such as India and China is pushing the frozen food industry in particular.
Warehouses in this category keep their storage temperatures between -10°F and -20°F. They hold frozen
vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, seafood, and other items.
The absence of infrastructure necessary to support the cold chain is expected to provide a significant hurdle for
enterprises looking to grow into emerging economies. Furthermore, the unavailability of power hook-ups for
reefer trailers at transportation hubs and ports may stymie industry expansion in these areas. COVID-19 caused
lockdowns and travel restrictions in numerous regions of the world, affecting the supply chains of many
industries. The consequences of COVID-19 have had a considerable impact on the market.
Rapid Growth in Import and Export Activities of Food Items and Pharmaceutical
Cold storage facilities are witnessing rapid growth in demand owing to the increasing import and export
activities. The cold storage market is booming with increasing global trade and the corresponding need for
secure storage infrastructure.
India accounts for 5.92% of the worldwide pharmaceutical and medicine market. Formulations and biologics
accounted for most of India's exports (73.31%), followed by drug intermediates and bulk medicines. In 2021-
22, the country exported pharmaceutical items worth USD 24.62 billion, a 2% increase over the previous year.
Exports increased by 18% yearly to USD 24.4 billion in 2020-21.
In March 2022, India exported USD 2.4 billion worth of drugs and pharmaceuticals, a 23% increase from USD
1.97 billion in February 2022. The USA, UK, South Africa, Russia, and Nigeria are India's top five export
destinations.
12
In December 2022, China's pharmaceutical product exports totalled USD 990 million, while imports totaled
USD 3.29 billion, resulting in a USD 2.3 billion negative trade deficit. From December 2021 and December
2022, China's pharmaceutical exports fell by USD -3.04B (-75.4%) from USD 4.03B to USD 990M, while
imports fell by USD -423M (-11.4%) from USD 3.71B to US

East African
East Africa's cold storage market shows tremendous potential for growth, fueled by several key factors.
Drivers
Rising population and incomes: A rapidly growing population, particularly in urban areas, coupled with
increasing disposable income, translates to higher demand for perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, dairy,
and meat, all reliant on proper cold storage.
Post-harvest losses: Estimates suggest a staggering 13.8% of food spoils before reaching consumers in Sub-
Saharan Africa, including East Africa. Improved cold chain infrastructure can significantly reduce these losses,
boosting food security and income for farmers.
Shifting dietary patterns: Changing preferences towards processed and fast foods, along with rising demand
for pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products, further drive the need for efficient cold storage
solutions.
13
Government initiatives: Recognizing the vital role of cold chain development, East African governments are
increasingly investing in infrastructure and policies to enhance this sector. For example, the African
Development Bank's multinational cold chain solutions fund aims to build facilities in key East African cities.
Technological advancements: Innovations like solar-powered cold storage units and AI-powered monitoring
systems are making cold storage more accessible and efficient, even in rural areas with limited resources.
While comprehensive market size projections vary depending on the source, the general consensus points
towards strong growth.
Market size research by ESI Africa indicates East Africa's cold chain infrastructure market is nascent but
rapidly developing, with Kenya taking the lead. By 2030, the market size is expected to reach several billion
dollars, a significant jump from its current level. Different research firms estimate CAGRs (Compound Annual
Growth Rates) ranging from 14% to 17.5% for the Cold Chain Storage Market in Africa, including East Africa.
This signifies robust and sustained growth in the coming years.
Ethiopian Perspective
The cold storage industry in Ethiopia has been limited in the past due to the country's economic challenges and
lack of investment in infrastructure. However, in recent years there has been a push to modernize and expand
the country's cold storage capabilities in order to support the growing demand for perishable goods.
One key factor driving the growth of the cold storage industry in Ethiopia is the country's expanding
agricultural sector, which produces a variety of perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. These
products often require cold storage in order to maintain their freshness and quality during transport and
distribution.
In addition to serving the domestic market, Ethiopia's cold storage facilities also play a role in the country's
export industry. Ethiopia exports a range of perishable goods to other countries in the region, and the
availability of cold storage facilities enables these exports to be preserved during transport.
Despite the increasing demand for cold storage facilities in Ethiopia, the construction of new projects has been
limited due to the country's economic challenges and lack of investment. However, with the recent
improvement in the country's economic situation and increased foreign investment, it is possible that more cold
storage projects may be constructed in the future.
There are have been some small size cold rooms in different areas of the country specially on horticulture
investments but they are limited to small storage size and specific for the intended investment services. Now
there are big cold storage ware house projects such as; Ethiopian Pharmaceutical storage and a 350 million birr
cold storage underway in Modjo town.
14
In January 3/2020 Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Fund Supply Agency (EPSA) on Friday officially inaugurated
three new cold chain warehouses with an outlay of more than 20 million Birr.
The modern cold chain warehouse featuring three independent cold rooms capable of operating at temperature
ranges from 2 to 8 Degree Celsius. The warehouses have also 300 meter cube storage capacity each and will
help to enhance the cold storage capacity to 4278 meter cube.
And a private company commanding the lion’s share of the market in the horticulture logistics sector is making
headway to establish a cold storage facility in Modjo town, Oromia, with an investment capital of 350 million
birr. The facility is expected to be set up at the most efficient route for transporting flowers and plants via train
from Modjo to Djibouti along the Ethio-Djibouti corridor. About 25,000 square metres of land is needed to
build the facility.
Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2028) of 9.87%, resulting in a market volume
of US$47.2m by 2028. The average Spend per Employee in the Storage market is projected to reach US$0.52 in
2024.In global comparison, most revenue will be generated in the United States (US$20,060m in 2024).
Meat Market
Meat consumption
Ethiopia consumes beef, sheep and goat meat, camel meat, poultry meat, game and, to a very limited extent, pig
meat. The per capita consumption of farm animal meat has changed only slightly in recent years and is
estimated at around 6 kg. About 60% of consumption is beef (3.6 kg) and about another 20% is sheep and goat
meat (1.2 kg). Poultry meat has slightly increased its share and now makes up a share of about 10-15%.
The consumption of camel meat is estimated at approx. 0.3 kg per head and year, although there are large
regional differences. The above consumption figures are approximate values which can be derived from
different information from international (OECD, FAO, BMG) and national statistics. There is, however, a broad
consensus that consumption is stagnating at this level and that rising production is largely being absorbed by
population growth. The population rose from around 95.4 million in 2013 to 109.2 million in 2018.
The consumption of meat products shows clear differences between urban and rural populations. People in
urban areas consume more meat due to the higher standard of living as well as the better accessibility of meat
products in supermarkets. This is particularly true for the consumption of beef and poultry meat. In rural areas,
meat is not part of the daily diet and is only consumed on religious holidays. In addition to the necessary
household income, there is a lack of opportunities to buy meat products at any time.
In urban areas, consumers buy meat and meat products mainly in butchers' shops and supermarkets. In rural
areas, on the other hand, live animals are handed in for slaughter and distribution within family and friends.
Processed meat products such as corned beef, sausages, etc. are usually only in demand by foreign consumers.
The market volume for processed meat products can therefore be considered marginal on a national average.
15
While beef, sheep and goat meat is consumed throughout the country, camel meat, for example, is consumed
more in the eastern and south-eastern regions and predominantly by people of Muslim faith. In Ethiopia, meat
or edible offal is usually sold as unprocessed raw material via local butchers or supermarkets, often
with complete animal halves or slaughter pieces being presented to customers on open counters. The customers
then decide which cuts they would like to have. The meat is then cut into standard household portions and given
to the customer.
The consumption of eggs is estimated at 0.4 to 0.5 kg per head and year. This corresponds to a consumption of
about 10 eggs per head and year. It is also to be expected that consumption of eggs will be significantly higher
in urban areas.
The Ethiopian market supply of meat is defined by a comparatively low per capita consumption and a high
degree of self-sufficiency. The current supply is almost exclusively covered by domestic production; imports
play only a minor role and contribute less than 1% to the market supply. In 2019, the FAO stated that imports
consisted of 1,000 t of poultry meat and 3,541 t of sheep and goat meat in 2017 (see also Table 5 with the FAO
and ITC figures from 2020 for the same year, which show slightly different values). Since meat exports also
accounted for less than 20,000 t, Ethiopian meat production accounts for 97 % of domestic supply.
However, live animal exports (formal and informal) are not included in this calculation.
In addition to the production of farmed meat, some 85,000 tons of game meat is also produced and consumed in
the country. This corresponds to a per capita consumption of another 0.75 kg.The market supply of eggs is
ensured by the domestic production of 55,000 tones of eggs.
Meat production
Meat production has increased slightly in all categories in recent years. A total of around 788,000 tons of meat
were produced in 2018, which means that the volume grew by 4.9 per cent from 2014 to 2018. Poultry meat
production recorded the largest increase in the reference period (2014 to 2018) at 8.2 percent, followed by beef
(5.6 percent), pork (5.5 percent), camel meat (3.8 percent) and sheep and goat meat (4.2 percent).
16
Dairy market
Milk consumption
Milk and dairy products are part of the daily diet of many people in Ethiopia. The importance of people's milk
consumption is based on the prevailing socio-cultural environment and agricultural production systems and
shows considerable regional differences. In the lowlands, especially where livestock farming is the main source
of income for the rural population, milk is consumed by all social groups. In the highlands, on the other hand,
people maintain a diet based mainly on cereal products as sedentary farmers who both keep livestock and
grow cereals. In addition, milk consumption and the consumption of dairy products also variesgreatly
according to the season and the period of fasting (especially for followers of Orthodox Christianity). Fresh milk
or whey, Ethiopian cottage cheese (Ayib) and traditional butter are the most commonly produced and consumed
dairy products in the different parts of the country. About half of the marketable milk in Ethiopia is
consumed as fresh drinking milk or in fermented form (e.g. whey drink, drinking yoghurt etc.). A further 40
percent is used to make butter and 9 percent for cheese.
The capital Addis Ababa has the highest per capita consumption in the country, averaging around 52 litres per
year, while other (smaller) cities such as Bahir Dar, Hawassa and Dire Dawa consume less than 30 litreson
average. The upland regions also consume less. Overall, the average per capita consumption of milk in Ethiopia
is around 30 kg of milk equivalent (ME). In general, Ethiopia consumes mainly cow's milk, but also camel,
sheep and goat milk.
Demand for milk and dairy products is currently met mainly through local production, supplemented by small
imports of processed dairy products. Although Ethiopia produced just under 4 million tones of milk in 2017,
more than about 25% of this was lost as so-called production losses. Furthermore, only a fraction of the
produced and marketable milk volume reaches the market through formal production and marketing channels.
Depending on the region and production system, between 78 and 90 per cent of the (marketable)milk volume is
absorbed by informal structures and reaches the final customer directly via these structures.
The remainder reaches consumers via formal structures and further processing. In the informal supply
chains, marketing by food service providers such as milk collectors and the sale of their milk directly to local
17
consumers accounts for about 50 percent of milk. Milk is also exported formally and informally to neighbouring
countries (Somaliland and Kenya) on cross border markets. The quality of the milk is low. Vendors use plastic
canisters that are difficult to wash; there are no collection and refrigeration centres, and the traditional
transport system exposes the milk to direct sunlight. Camel milk is traded in traditional supply chains. In
contrast to cow's milk, the largest share (approx. 58percent) of camel milk reaches consumers via
(intermediate) traders on markets and not via direct marketing by milk collectors. About 40.5 percent of the
milk is marketed directly via milk collectors. Only about 1.5 percent of camel milk is exported across borders
to neighbouring countries by (intermediate) traders.
Milk production
Milk production in Ethiopia takes place mainly in small-scale farming structures. According to FAO &
OECD figures, there are currently around 16.2 million dairy cows and 354,000 milking camels, as well as an
unknown number of milked sheep and goats in the country. Together, all animals produce a total milk quantity
of about 3.9 million tonnes, with cow's milk (3.6 million tones) being the largest share, followed by camel milk
(169,724 tonnes). Sheep's and goat's milk played a lesser role with about 79,000 and 82,000 tonnes
respectively.
The data situation for milk production in Ethiopia is in part very patchy and contradictory. According to figures
from the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), 5.2 million tones of milk are produced in Ethiopia.
Cow's and camel milk together account for 5.03 million tones. 80 percent of this amount comes from cow's
milk farming, while the remaining 20 percent is attributed to camel farming .There is also different information
on the production of camel milk. For example, the FAO reports a total volume of camel milk production of
around 170,000 tones (for 2017), while the CSA states over 300,000 tones. The Ethiopian Statistical Office's
(CSA) nationwide surveys and samples may be incomplete or unrepresentative. Furthermore, production and
consumption in the informal sector can only be estimated.
Ethiopia's livestock farming sector is an enormous resource whose potential for value creation is only
utilized to a limited extent. The current market is characterized by low per-capita consumption, declining
exports of live animals and meat via the formal export route and substantial but difficult to capture exports of
live animals via the informal export route. At the same time, livestock farmers complain about a lack of
18
structures and non-transparent trade practices. As a result, producer prices are often very low and the main
added value is only achieved in the subsequent stages of trade. Therefore, there are few incentives for
producers to improve or expand production. Imports are very small (see Table ), with more than 90 percent of
the imported goods (2017) being poultry meat from Brazil. Imports of meat and meat products have increased
somewhat, but only at a very low level, largely following the establishment of luxury hotels and supermarkets
in the capital city, which aim to meet the specific taste and quality requirements of foreign guests.
Over the last two decades, Ethiopia has mainly focused on red meat exports. The quantity of meat exported
rose by 29.3 percent to around 18,900 tones in the period from 2013 to 2017. Currently, meat products worth
around 97 million USD are exported. Goat meat is the most exported type of meat with an export value of
around 88 million USD, ahead of beef at 6.2 million USD and offal at 2.3 million USD.
The Arabian Peninsula is currently the largest sales market for meat products. The United Arab Emirates (UAE)
alone imports around 10,000 tones of Ethiopian meat, ahead of Saudi Arabia with 6,400 tones and Bahrain (960
tonnes), see Table.
19
Exports of red meat (poultry meat is practically not exported) are still at a low level despite all efforts and do
not even reach 3% of domestic production. In the case of beef, Ethiopia has made various attempts to maintain
the substantial added value in the country through domestic slaughter and export marketing of the carcasses.
This has led to the establishment of specialized export slaughterhouses, some of which are now closed again or
are producing at low capacity. It is apparent that the informal export route has established itself as more flexible
and efficient and is not subject to official control. Goats are less suitable for live marketing, so that slaughter in
the country has become established as an advantage.
More important than the trade in meat and meat products is the marketing and export of live animals for
Ethiopia. In addition to important export earnings, it also provides access to foreign exchange, which is critical
for Ethiopian economic development. In recent years, the export of live animals has been subject to strong
fluctuations and informal export has gained in importance compared to formal export channels. For formal
exports, an export value of around USD 62 million is estimated for 2017. In another publication, the value of
formal exports is given as USD 190 million.
Ethiopia is thus an important supplier of live animals to Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya and Sudan, as well as Saudi
Arabia, particularly through informal trade channels. It is assumed that the total value of the informal export
channel significantly exceeds the value of the formal export channel and could be three or four times higher.
Overall, Ethiopia has not yet succeeded in taking advantage of the dual opportunities of, on the one hand, a
better supply of red meat for the domestic population, and on the other hand, better export marketing in the red
meat sector, where a high added value remains in the country.

Actual land availability of the project has been decided by taking into account the dimensions
of the building for the main process considering the size of the machineries and equipment such
as machine layout, store house, office system and parking lot.
4.2. Project Design & Engineering
The Company proposes to develop and construct building with latest concepts and food grade materials to
operate proposed industrial activities efficiently. Thus, the overall site area for the proposed plant is envisaged
to be 14,000 m2. The cold storage 7834 m2. The administration building (including administrative office,
cafeteria, Guard house generator and transformer room, changing room with common Toilet and shower, water
tanker tower and septic tank) occupy 6166m2. The floor will be reinforced concrete, having a strong foundation.
The required amount of utilities with perspective price is shown here below in detail in the table. As a result of
the market demand of the product, the plant will propose additional nearby site area to expand its manufacturing
plant and create additional advantages to the study area in terms of employment opportunity, revenue
generation, and production quality & quantity supplying, cost minimization and soon. As a result, the company
will operate at an adequate area of land for proposed project.
Actual land availability of the project has been decided by taking into account the dimensions of the building
for the main process considering the size of the machineries and equipment such as machine layout, store house,
office system and parking lot. Land decisions entail determines the placement of the departments, work groups
within the departments, workstations, machines, and warehouses points within the production facility. The
objective of the machine layout is to arrange these elements in a way that ensures a smooth work flow or a
particular traffic pattern. In general, the inputs to the layout decisions are as follows
Specification of the objectives and corresponding criteria to be used to evaluate the reaction. The amount of
materials required, and the amount that must be traveled between elements in the layout, are common basic
22
criteria. Estimates of product or service demand on the system. Processing requirements in terms of number of
operations and work flow between the elements in the layout.Space requirements for the elements in the layout.
Space availability within the facility itself, or if this is a new facility, possible building configurations.
A machine layout is one in which equipment's or work processes are arranged according to their progressive
steps by which the product is made. A group of technology layout groups of dissimilar machines in to work
centers to work on products that have similar shapes and processing requirements. A group of technology layout
is similar a process layout in that cells are designed to perform a specific set of processes, and it is similar to a
product layout in that the cells are dedicated to limited range of products. In a fixed-position layout, the product
remains at one location. Plant processing equipment is moved to the product rather than vice versa.
Construction Sites and movie lots are examples of this plant. Many Processing facilities present a combination
of the two layout types. For example, a given production area may be laid out by process, while another
production area may be laid out by product.
23
4.2.3 Machinery and Equipment
The production machinery and equipment is broadly categorized in to two. These are production machinery &
equipment, and general use equipment’s. The total cost of machinery and equipment is estimated to be
105,145,000.00 Birr. The detail of machinery and equipment type is shown in the table below.
Factors that affect production efficiency of the machineries are number of working days and type of product,
daily or hourly production volume, process losses and capacity utilization of machinery. The project theoretical
capacity is 464800 Pcs/day putting the machine efficiency and the time that will take to get in to full capacity
production by considering the project will start operation at 60% of its capacity. The plant is assumed to
24
increase its production capacity to 65% in second year, 70% in third year and will reach in its maximum
capacity of 90% in fifth year.
In the selection of the appropriate technology for the proposed plant the following points have taken in the
consideration.
Prepare proposals-technical and financial- to carry out the work; Mobilize resources-manpower and machinery-

other 50% is imported from different foreign countries since the food standard materials and technologies are
not locally available. All the material to be used is food grade and globally certified materials.
The other core raw materials such as red meat, egg and milk diaries are 90% local products that will be exported
to generate foreign countries and for domestic use the rest 10 % food related materials (products) are imported
from foreign countries for domestic sales.
The working principle of a cold storage warehouse involves creating and maintaining specific temperature and
humidity conditions to preserve the quality and freshness of perishable goods. Here's a breakdown of the key
components and processes involved in the functioning of a cold storage warehouse:
Refrigeration System: Cold storage warehouses are equipped with refrigeration systems that control the
temperature inside the facility. These systems typically consist of compressors, condensers, evaporators, and
expansion valves. The refrigeration cycle involves the compression and expansion of refrigerant gases to absorb
heat from the storage area and release it outside, thus maintaining a lower temperature inside.
26
Insulation: The walls, roof, and floor of the cold storage warehouse are usually heavily insulated to minimize
heat transfer. High-quality insulation materials help create a thermal barrier, preventing external heat from
entering and internal cold from escaping.
Temperature and Humidity Control: The refrigeration system is designed to maintain specific temperature
and humidity levels based on the requirements of the stored products. Different types of perishable goods may
have varying temperature and humidity needs. For example, fruits, vegetables, and pharmaceuticals may require
different storage conditions.
Air Circulation: Adequate air circulation is essential to ensure uniform temperature distribution throughout the
storage space. Cold storage warehouses are designed with efficient air distribution systems, including fans, to
prevent temperature variations and maintain consistent conditions across all storage areas.
Monitoring and Control Systems: Modern cold storage facilities are equipped with sophisticated monitoring
and control systems. These systems continuously monitor temperature, humidity, and other environmental
factors. If there are deviations from the set parameters, the control system triggers alarms and may initiate
corrective actions to maintain optimal storage conditions.
Loading and Unloading Areas: Cold storage warehouses have designated areas for loading and unloading
goods. To minimize temperature fluctuations, these areas often have airlocks or vestibules that serve as
transitional zones between the external environment and the cold storage space.
Backup Power Supply: Given the critical nature of maintaining a constant temperature, cold storage
warehouses often have backup power supplies, such as generators, to ensure continuous operation in case of
power outages.
Safety Measures: Cold storage facilities implement safety features to protect both the stored products and
personnel. This includes emergency systems, ventilation, and safety protocols to handle any unforeseen events.
By integrating these components and principles, cold storage warehouses can effectively create and sustain the
optimal conditions needed to preserve the quality of perishable goods, extend their shelf life, and contribute to
the efficient functioning of the supply chain.

4.2.7.2 Byproducts/Waste
Waste treatment in a cold storage warehouse primarily involves managing and disposing of waste generated
during the operation of the facility. Here are some aspects of waste treatment specific to cold storage
warehouses:
Packaging Waste:- Recycling: Implementing a comprehensive recycling program for packaging materials like
cardboard, plastic, and metal can significantly reduce the environmental impact. Cardboard boxes, plastic
wraps, and other packaging materials can often be recycled.
Waste Sorting: Establishing waste sorting stations to separate different types of waste at the source can facilitate
recycling efforts.
Composting: Some organic waste, such as spoiled fruits or vegetables, can be directed to composting facilities.
Composting turns organic waste into nutrient-rich compost that can be used for soil enrichment.
Donations: When feasible, donating surplus but still edible food to local charities or food banks can help
minimize food waste.
Optimizing: Regular maintenance and optimization of refrigeration systems can enhance energy efficiency,
reducing overall energy consumption and the environmental impact.
Hazardous Waste: Cold storage warehouses may generate hazardous waste, such as refrigerants or chemicals
used in the refrigeration system. It's crucial to follow proper disposal procedures in accordance with
environmental regulations to prevent harm to the environment.
Water Management: Implementing water recycling systems can help minimize water consumption and reduce
the environmental impact. For example, condensation from refrigeration units can be collected and reused for
non-potable purposes.
Obsolete Equipment: When upgrading or decommissioning refrigeration equipment, efforts should be made to
recycle or responsibly dispose of the old equipment. This can include components like compressors,
condensers, and other parts.
Employee Training: Training employees on proper waste management practices and encouraging a culture of
environmental responsibility can contribute to the success of waste reduction efforts.
It's essential for cold storage warehouses to comply with local regulations and environmental standards
regarding waste disposal and management. Additionally, adopting sustainable practices, such as energy-
efficient technologies and waste reduction initiatives, not only benefits the environment but can also lead to cost
savings and improved overall operational efficiency.
Vehicles
28
To facilitate the projects day to day activities, the project needs; one services bus for workers, one Double cabin
pick up for the key management staffs, two forklift for the factory operation and three trucks for transporting
the raw materials and products for estimated investment cost of Birr 26,700,000.
The furniture, fixture and office equipment required include tables, chairs, sofa sets, shelves, computers,
printers, etc., estimated to cost about Birr 500,000.
Utilities
The major utilities required for the textile plant are water for greenery and sanitary, Electricity, Fuel, diesel Oil
and Lubricants. For electric power, EEPCO will supply after the completion of all the civil works but the
promoter plans use power from one generator during construction phase, water shall be supplied from
government infrastructure. On the other hand, since the project is being established in the regional capital it will
not face any problem regarding telephone, fax, internet and the like.
Provided separate Environmental impact assessment shall be conducted by the respective environmentalists,
notionally, the project will not have any adverse effect on the environment and the required follow up and
controlling will take on as needed in the project.
It's essential for cold storage warehouses to comply with local regulations and environmental standards
regarding waste disposal and management. Additionally, adopting sustainable practices, such as energy-
efficient technologies and waste reduction initiatives, not only benefits the environment but can also lead to cost
savings and improved overall operational efficiency.

8.3. Financial Results
Profitability:-The projected profit and loss statement forecasted for 10 years shows that the net profit of the
project will be Birr 108 million in the first project year and Birr 208 million in the last projection period.
Liquidity:-The cash flow projection also shows a positive growth in cash balance from Birr 119 million in the
first year to Birr 530 million in the last projection period implying that the project will not face liquidity
constraint to finance its operational costs and at same time meeting its debt obligation.
Financial Internal Rate of Return:-Before and after tax internal rate of return computed based on 10 years
projection period is 31% and 24%, where the rate is above the maximum lending rate in the country implying
that it is worthwhile to invest on the project.
Sensitivity Analysis:-The project's sensitivity to adverse circumstances is viewed from three different
scenarios: by decreasing its sales revenue; increasing its operating cost and investment cost, all by 10%. The
result indicates that FIRR after tax decreases to 10% with decrease in revenue, 22% with increase in operating
cost and to 23% with an increase in investment cost. This indicates that the project is not sensitive to external
shocks.
Net Present Value:-Net Present value of the project after tax at 15% discount rate shows a positive balance of
Birr 218 million implying the project's ability to cover what is invested over its life span.
Socio-economic Benefits
The major socio economic benefits of the project can be seen from three perspectives: job opportunity, foreign
exchange earnings, generating government tax, and technology transfer and linkage effect.
Job Opportunity: The project will create a job opportunity for about 109skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled
workers on permanent basis.
Source of Government Income (income tax and profit tax): The project will annually generate an average
revenue to the government treasury of about Birr 27.2 million in the form of income tax. The government will
also secure tax from employees as income tax.
Technology and Knowledge Transfer: - The knowledge is not yet well developed in the country. Therefore,
the establishment of the project will help for the transfer of the knowhow to the country.
The last but not the least, the promoter, shall guarantee to contribute 0.5% of its net profit after tax to the
social fund for the project surrounding people as part of discharging its social responsibility. As per the
financial projections this is minimum of one million per annum and total of birr 10 million during the project
estimated period of 10 years.
