3 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA

Pre-Feasibility Study Modified CA Cold Storage
Technology: Cold storage is a used for storing produce such as vegetable and
fruits in an atmosphere that is considerably different from normal air with respect
to CO2 and O2 levels. The CO2 and O2 levels within gas tight stores are
monitored and adjusted to preserve the storage items. Due to metabolic activity
of the respiring fruits and vegetables in the store and leakage of gases through
doors and walls, the gas mixture will constantly change. The gases are therefore
measured periodically and adjusted to the predetermined level by the introduction
of fresh air or nitrogen or passing the store atmosphere through a chemical to
remove CO2.
Location: CA Cold Storage can be set-up in any major city with significant
population such as Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Multan,
Peshawar and Quetta preferably near Sabzi Mandi or fruit & vegetables trading
hub. This business can also be done in all small second tier towns in addition to
suburban towns of large cities. Moreover, the land will be purchased for the
project due to heavy investment.
Product: In the proposed controlled atmosphere cold storage there would be a
capacity to store high end imported or local products which can be stored for a
duration of about 06 months and more. The proposed products would be Apple
and Kinow due to their storage life in CA cold storage up to six months.
Target Market: Target market would be Growers, whole sellers, retailers, hyper
stores, Importers and Exporters of fruit and vegetables.
Employment Generation: The proposed project will provide direct
employment to 09 people. Financial analysis shows the unit shall be profitable
from the very first year of operation.

The proposed cold storage facility has a maximum storage capacity of storing 1,000
metric tons. It will be functional throughout the year. Proposed capacity utilization is
50%1 with annual growth rate of 10%. This growth rate would be capped at 95% in
5th year.
6 CRITICAL FACTORS
The main critical success factors that affect the decision to invest in the proposed
business setup are:
Better insulation technology and compartmentalization of cold storage as
compared to the rest of the cold storages in Pakistan.
Energy efficient construction hence low operating/fuel costs due to efficient
insulation.
Compartmentalization i.e. compartments has the provision of storing different
commodities at their respective temperatures.
Complete adherence to best agronomic practices is critical to the success of
this project; therefore, technical knowledge & experience of the entrepreneur
in the field of horticulture and in fresh fruit processing business is absolutely
necessary.
Awareness about HACCP standards and Strict Quality assurance of process
and products.
Selection of quality fruits on the basis of best analysis of cost and revenues
for a given season; cost efficiency through better management.
Appropriate post-harvest arrangement for transportation of product to the
processing unit in case of ‘own stock’ business model.
Appropriate storage arrangement and internal control for processed fruits;
cold chain refer container arrangements for transportation to local and
international markets.
Properly trained seed staff should be engaged and comprehensive staff
training programs to be adopted for capacity building.
Careful selection of good location and purchase of land at competitive price.
Effective marketing and distribution of the product particularly to the
exporters, industrial units and super store buyers.

Pakistan produces a variety of fruits and vegetables like potato, apple, mangoes,
dates, banana, cherries, kiwi, apricots, pomegranates, peas, carrots, etc. Pakistan's
total annual production of fruits amounts to nearly 7 million tons and that of
vegetables to approximately 7 million tons with approximately 4 million tons of potato
production2. However, it is estimated that in Pakistan 35%3 of fruits & vegetables
produced each year are lost because of poor harvest conditions. This loss if
calculated approximately amounts to 4.9 million metric tons and its estimated local
market value reaches somewhere near US $ 01 billion. The major reasons for this
loss are careless harvesting, rough handling, inadequate transportation, and storage
facilities.
Pakistan’s Agricultural lands in Punjab, Sindh receive all four seasons and therefore
throughout the year cultivation and harvesting of different vegetables, and fruits are
scattered evenly across the year. The harvest calendar of various fruits and
vegetables is given below

Most of the existing local Cold Storagess are constructed on locally developed
methods, which maintain a uniform temperature for all commodities stored. The
goods are not stored at their recommended relative storage temperatures and life,
and because of this, the quality of stored commodity is badly affected. Vegetables
and fruits require specialized post-harvest treatment, appropriate temperature and
relative humidity control for their proper & optimum storage, which most of the
existing local cold stores lack. Following are the potential customers of cold storage:
Growers Wholesalers and Traders
Importers and Exporters
Retailers and/or Hyper stores
A detailed financial model has been developed to analyze the commercial viability of
this project. Various costs and revenue related assumptions along with results of the
analysis are outlined in this section.
All the figures in this financial model have been calculated for estimated sales of Rs.
-35.28 million in the year one. The capacity utilization during year one is worked out
at 50 % with 10 % increase in subsequent years up to the maximum capacity
utilization of 95 %.

An essential cost to be borne by the project is the cost of electricity and fuel. The
electricity expenses are estimated to be around Rs. 8,398,571 per year, whereas,
fuel expenses are estimated to be Rs.480,468 per year (for fork lift and burner).
Revenue Generation
Based on the capacity utilization of 50 % sales revenue during the first year of
operations is estimated as under:
