- 3. 200-3 I. SUMMARY This profile envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of Moringa oleifera oil with a capacity of 279 tonnes per annum. The present demand for the proposed product is estimated at 3,500 tonnes per annum. The demand is expected to reach at 8,207 tonnes by the year 2017. The plant will create employment opportunities for 43 persons. The total investment requirement is estimated at Birr 3.79 million, out of which Birr 1.8 million is required for plant and machinery. The project is financially viable with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 17 % and a net present value (NPV) of Birr 1.64 million discounted at 8.5%. II. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION Moringa oleifera seed is harvested from its tree and contains 38.4% crude protein and 35 to 40% tatty oil. Moringa oleifera oil is non-drying oil with high oleic acid and used for cooking and soap manufacture, as a cosmetic base and to provide illumination. Other uses of moringa oleifera oil are for their antibiotic and anti-inflammatory propertied to treat arthritis, rheumatism, cramp, sexually transmitted disease & bills. The expeller cake, which is produced by pressing the seed to extract oil, is used as fertilizer, coagulant (natural cationic polyelectrolyte) and animal toddler. The cake contains about 58.9% crude protein.
- 4. 200-4 III. MARKET STUDY AND PLANT CAPACITY A. MARKET STUDY 1. Past Supply and Present Demand Moringa oleifera is a fast growing, aesthetically pleasing small tree adapted to arid, sandy conditions. The species is characterized by its long, drumstick shaped pods that contain its seeds. Within the first year of growth, moringa has been known to grow up to 4 meters and can bear fruit within the same first year. Depending on the purpose and quantity desired, moringa can be grown in a nursery as a community project or on a smaller scale at the family level. Moringa oleifera oil has a number of applications including; • Edible oil, • Oils for cosmetics and soap, • Oilcake as animal feed, fertiliser and solid fuel, and • Moringa Leaf Powder as a food and nutrition supplement. The edible oil is equivalent in every way to Olive oil with similar health benefits and will be produced at a price much less than Olive oil and therefore more affordable for the local population. Cosmetic oils are used in skin care, massage preparations and pure natural soap is also made from Moringa oleifera oil. The left over cake have a value as a fertilizer or solid fuel. However, in Etrhiopia as the cosmetics manufacturing industry is not well developed it is assumed that at present Moringa oleifera oil will be only used as edible oil.
- 5. 200-5 The country’s requirement for the product has been met through domestic production and import. Table 3.1 shows supply of edible oil both through import and local production. Table 3.1 SUPPLY OF EDIBLE OIL (TONNES) Year Domestic % Share Import Total 2000 6579 8.50 70,789 77,368 2001 6,637 21.12 24,785 31,422 2002 8,329 19.59 34,196 42,525 2003 7,993 26.40 22,283 30,276 2004 8,027 6.18 121,812 129,839 2005 6,931 7.79 82,014 88,945 AVERAGE 7,416 15 59,313 66,729 Source: Customs Authority CSA, Statistical Abstract. As can be seen from Table 3.1, during the time under reference imports and domestic production averaged 59,313 and 7,416 tonnes respectively, while average supply stands at 66,729 tonnes. Thus on the average, about 15% of country’s requirement for edible oil was supplied through domestic production. It is assumed that the average supply during the period of analyses approximates current (2007) demand for edible oil. Moreover, in order to be conservative it is assumed that the market share of Moringa oleifera oil is assumed to be only 7% of the total demand for edible oil i.e. 4,671 tonnes. 2. Projected Demand The demand projection is estimated on a hypothetical assumption that edible oil consumption should grow with the growth of urban population. Hence, a 4% growth rate is used to forecast the demand as depicted in Table 3.2.

Pricing and Distribution The price for one liter edible oil is Birr 12. Assuming margin for wholesalers and retailers, Birr 7 per liter is recommended the envisaged product. The product will can be distributed through retails shops who will receive the product using van delivery with an appropriate size and package.
- 7. 200-7 B. PLANT CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION PREGRAMME 1. Plant Capacity The annual production capacity of the envisaged plant is 1,500 tonnes of refined edible oil and 2,447 tonnes of expeller cake, based on 300 working days and 3 shifts per day. 2. Production Programme Considering the gradual development of processing skill and marketing, the rate of capacity utilization during the 1st and 2nd year of production will be 70 and 90% respectively. Full capacity will be attained in the third year then after. Table 3.3 shows the production program of the proposed project.

- 9. 200-9 V. TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING A. TECHNOLOGY 1. Process Description Edible oil processing can be classified in two groups of manufacturing stages: crude and refined oil production. Moringa oleifera seeds first enter into cleaning unity where vibratory screens and pneumatic cleaners are involved. The cleaned seed then passes through conditioning process. The cooked and conditioned seed will be pressed to produce crude oil which shall be screened and filtered before entering the refinery unity. In the refinery there exists three major operations: neutralization, bleaching and deodorization. In the neutralizer the free fatty acid content of crude oil shall be lowered by adding caustic soda. The colour of oil shall be controlled in the bleacher using bleaching earth. Finally, the odors are removed by the deodorization process. The final refined oil is then dispatched for sales. 2. Source of Technology Different machinery manufacturers and suppliers can be requested for their offer. For example the following company may be interested to supply parts or the whole plant, in turn-key basis. Dayal Impex Website: http://www.indiamart.com/oilexpellerspare.

FINANCIAL EVALUATION 1. Profitability According to the projected income statement, the project will start generating profit in the first year of operation. Important ratios such as profit to total sales, net profit to equity (Return on equity) and net profit plus interest on total investment (return on total investment) show an increasing trend during the life-time of the project. The income statement and the other indicators of profitability show that the project is viable.
- 15. 200-15 2. Break-even Analysis The break-even point of the project including cost of finance when it starts to operate at full capacity ( year 3) is estimated by using income statement projection. BE = Fixed Cost = 61 % Sales – Variable Cost 3. Pay Back Period The investment cost and income statement projection are used to project the pay-back period. The project’s initial investment will be fully recovered within 5 years. 4. Internal Rate of Return and Net Present Value Based on the cash flow statement, the calculated IRR of the project is 17 % and the net present value at 8.5% discount rate is Birr 1.64 million. D. ECONOMIC BENEFITS The project can create employment for 43 persons. In addition to supply of the domestic needs, the project will generate Birr 998,110 in terms of tax revenue. Miracle Trees
