Executive summary
1. Introduction
In order to promote the economic and social development of the nation, Ethiopia's present
administration has adopted a market-oriented economic policy. The government has supported
investment policies as a part of its policy changes, creating numerous opportunities for private
investors to place their capital in nearly all economic sectors. Access to land, the presence of good
governance, the presence of good infrastructure, market accessibility, and the favourability of the
area for commercial activities are some of the factors that spur the development of the private
sector. Other factors include the establishment of agriculture investment projects to bring high-
quality agricultural and economic technology to market.
The country's quick economic growth was fuelled by the present effective economic policy, which
provided opportunities for the private sector to engage in any type of development work. This
investment program is a result of initiative in an area that has not been deeply touched by an
agriculture investment project. This promotes both domestic and international private investors'
participation in all economic sectors, whether as a single person or as a partnership.
With the goal of solving the town's socio-economic difficulties and contributing to its growth
through agriculture provision and job employment, this project proposal aims to demonstrate the
technical viability, administrative capacity, and financial sustainability of the project to the
relevant departments. On the basis of this, the private sector has begun to mobilize and spend their
knowledge and financial resources in a variety of investment activities that they believe will be
advantageous for them and the nation.
Ethiopian economy is chiefly an agricultural with more than 85% of the country population
employed in this sector. Vegetable and Fruit production one of these sectors which is takes place
in Eastern and Central part of country. This including both East and west Harerghe, Shewa , and
Arsi and south western parts Ethiopia are the known cultivation zones of vegetables in the
country. Currently, Production of vegetables has been highly increasing as some 27,800 hac of
land is cultivated for production of vegetables, and fruits out of which, less than 10% of the
production is held by large state farms whereas smallholder farmers’ accounts for some 92% of
land and 90% of yield commercialized farms of the country. Mainly use imported or improved
varieties of seeds, while private smallholders mainly depend on traditional or local varieties. The
majority of vegetable production is organic by nature; however none of the farms in Ethiopia has
its production process certified against international recognized organic label which is very
important to compute in the international market.
As Gumbi Bordode Woreda, it’s one of West Hararghe Zone distinct that established in 2009 and
276 km far from Addis Ababa in east direction and 75 Km from ciroo capital of west Hararghe
Zone. There are 171,835 total numbers of populations with 28,923 total numbers of households
living in the District its subdivided into Twenty-nine (29) kebele, with 17,545 cultivated land out
these 7000hac could be used for vegetable and fruit production. Gumbi Bordode District has
favorable conditions that would make it possible to produce almost all types of vegetables, which
could give yield three time per years by using both rained feed and irrigation. In District irrigation
potential is by dam and flood along across the river which are laga Arba ,Hardim and Qurqura
river.
Vegetables’ production is one of the important farm enterprises in Gumbi Bordode District and
it’s the surrounding areas. It’s considerable as source of income. Vegetables, which are valuable
for their high vitamins and mineral contents, are the diet of the domestic people. There is potential
for production and export market for high quality and fresh vegetables. As a consequence,
vegetable gardening should be improved and expanded to meet the domestic and export market
demand.
The vegetable production project will be performed considering the right vegetable crop, variety,
at the right time, with better farm management in order to get reasonable result. In this regard
producers of vegetables in the District and surrounding areas have developed considerable
experiences and benefits.
Even though, the District has all the above stated demand and high potential for vegetable
production. There is shortage of vegetable with high number of economic problem which is
unemployment in the woreda. These remain District leading to problem of insufficient supply of
vegetable and unemployment which affect people lives and livelihoods with addition to enable of
investment. This problem would be a bottleneck and re-forced the investors for this intervention.
The overall objective of this Business plan project will be to establishing vegetable and fruit produ
ction which going to expand investment and create job opportunity for more than for 20 person
directly and 120 person indirectly, these enhance basic source of balance diet, human needs and
accelerate economics development.
As the government of Ethiopia conducive investment policy and regulation that further attract
private sectors investment in the economic development through various investment and business
endeavors. To this effect the owner of the envisioned project has planned to invest in Oromia
regional state, West Hararghe zone, Gumbi Bordode District in high value vegetable production.
So this project implemented in done to confirm the market, technical and financial viability of this
project. The result of the project is very sound and promising for the owner to commence the
project in the district. In addition to the soil and agro ecological condition confirmed the

Strategically located to geopolitics and joint of sea road way to nearest eastern port by high road of
country trade door.
Appear on the road to the nearest market out late, availability of skill labor force.
Conducive investment policy and environmentally and geographically very fit to vegetable
production.
There is sufficient cultivated land especially accessed for vegetable production investment to be used with
supplementary irrigation. The project site is very near (in a range of 5 to 12 km) to market. In this area,
damped water resource is available that could be extracted for irrigation. The alluvial soil of the District is
very conducive for vegetable production. The land lease price and period for different uses is already set in
which for commercial activities. The arrangement of the lease payment is based on advance payment (20
percent of lease price). The rest of the payment will be accomplished up to 20 years with a bank interest
included. Source: OPALR No.1180/2020. Currently the Gumbi Bordode District administration has
embarked re-development schemes that intend to recycle irrigation land, which would invariably require
employing a land and property valuation system to pay adequate compensation for previous developments
as well as to allocate land for new developments. It has delivered considerable land to development, transiti
onal and expansion areas.

many years ago to confront the problems of unemployment due to lack of investors, it could not fulfill the
desire. Hence, we have confirmed that the establishment of investment is our primary interest and top
priority. All have revealed a positive attitude towards the foundation of this investment and fully agreed to
be a guest for it when his farm is start up production. In view of addressing the above stated problems in
the introductory part is rationalized this intervention for MMMM+ Vegetable and Fruit production

country. The private sector is encouraged to invest in almost all areas of the economy. The expanded effort
to realize free market system, liberalization of trade rules, promulgation of investment rules, the launching
of economic opportunity and development policy and land development and management policies are
some of the measures taken. The newly launched investment rule is the outcome of a series of amendment
of the 1180/2020 proclamation. The aim of this proclamation is to facilitate services to the investors, to
provide integrated services in one stop-shop, strengthen institutional mechanisms to fit to the required
facilitation works.

representatives of the business community and work hand-in-hand with the private sector. This situation
will allow a timely detection of constraints in the sector and proposal of appropriate remedial measures and
consequently, create a favorable condition for the development of the trade and industry sector.
1.4.2. Industrial Development Strategy: The industrial development strategy of Ethiopia is formulated
with the objective of offering better opportunity for the development of industrial and trade sector
especially for agro-processing and other export-led industrial developments. It has been found necessary to
encourage the integration of domestic and foreign investors in the industrial development of the country
and the involvement of the society for industrial development.
1.4.3. Rules and Regulations: Besides, the various conditions that create conducive atmosphere for the
industrial and trade development, the Proclamation No. 1180/2002 i.e. Reenactment of the Investment
Proclamation, is another important stepping-stone to lure investment opportunities in the city. Council of
Ministers Regulations No. 1180/2020 (2020), i.e. Regulation of Investment Incentives and Investment
Areas Reserved for Domestic Investors on the other hand also provides incentive by exempting from
