Capital Cost:
Equipment and price
1. processing plant
A set of garri processing plant is purchased at rate of N600, 000. It consists of the following;
1.Peelers:Peeling involves removing the outer brown layer of cassava tubers to expose the white/yellow flesh. Peeling can be done with
knives (which takes more time and labour) or a mechanizedpeeling machine (which is more expensive of course). However, peeling
machines reduce waste, saves time and labour, and does more work in a short time; it can peel up to 2,500kg of cassava in anhour while
manual peeling can only process 20kg. The peeler is usually the most expensive machine of the whole range.
2.Grater:This machine grinds the peeled and washed cassava tubers into a pulp or mash and can often process up to 4 tons of raw cassava in
one day.
3. Hydraulic Press:This machine comes with a 30-ton hydraulic jack and does an easy job of squeezing all the water out of the mashed
cassava.
4.Sieving machine:This is the machine that separates the fibre/lumps from the grated, mashed and pressed cassava before frying.
5.Fryers:There are basically two types of fryers - mechanical and metal trays. While the mechanical fryer is much more expensive, it can
process more gari in a shorter time than the metal trays which require more time and human labour. However, both still get the same result.
6. Stain less frying pots and burners and cooking gas cylinders.

PROJECTED CASH FLOW IN ONE YEAR.

Assumption 1.
The conversion rate of tubers to processed gari is 4tons of cassava tubers to 1 ton of gari.2. That 1 ton of cassava tuber delivered to the
plants is N 5,000 per ton.3. That the other costs of production are not more than 50 percent of the cost of cassava tuber .i.e. 50% of N 20,
0000 which is N 10,000.4. That the selling price of one 50kg bag of gari is N5,000
2. Profit forecast
2 Tons per day of 8 hrs NCassava tubers (8 tons x N5,000) 40,000Other costs of production (50%) 20,000Net profit per day 20,000Profit per
year (working 6 daysPer week or 313 days in a year(313 x N20,000) N 6,260, 000 The project will retire ALL debts after the first year of
operation and return a profit of about N 1,260,000. This shows that it is viable and feasible. It can also retire the debt within six months if it
operates on two shifts per day.

licenses required
*certificate of incorporation from the coperate affairs commission*
*tax identification number from the federal inland revenue service*.
*VAT registration number from the federal inland revenue service*.

Marketing Strategy
Our marketing sales and strategy is centered on:
*Bulk sales to whole sellers and retailer at 30% discount of the selling price.
*Retail sales in the warehouse.distributions to credible wholesalers and retailers
*.Direct sales to final consumers.

Future requirement;
This depends on the desired level of expansion. In theshort run, output can be increased without necessarily acquiring bigger production
space but breaking up the production team to undertake shift duties i.e., morning afternoon and night shift. As turnover improves and market
z there will be need to acquire another warehouse even in the short run.

Site analysis
The site must be accessible by road and have relevant infrastructure such as electricity to support production. It should be located at the
cluster of the city to attract backward and forward integration.

Zoning and use approval

Premises must be located at areas designated by relevant town planning authorities for industrial production.

Internal cash control

Internal controls are measures taken to guard against insider abuse, fraud and shrinkage.
Inventory of all raw materials and finished product will be maintained and updated on daily basis
Inventory of materials and circulating register for obtaining and retuning materials will be kept on daily basis.Being a new company, the M.D
will check all daily transactions at the end of work and the business consulting team and auditor will review and check company’s operation
quarterly.

Growth program
We estimate that business will grow at the rate of 10-20% every year we have develop a profitable pilot scheme that indicates that the total
capital investment can be entirely recouped in one year giventhe production and complete sales of the entire inventory of finished
goods.Total monetary value of investment is put atN2, 000000 and turnovers of N6, 260, 000 see projected cash flow for details. This project
will be financed by Mr. Bukky Falomo of N2, 000000

Scenario of Adverse condition of 20% sales reduction

This business is based on investment model that enable us commit N2, 000000 (two million naira) onthe production of mechanize garri. Our
investment model is designed to absorb shocks within the industry and stay afloat. Thus a sensitive analysis of any downward income flow
can be undertaken to ascertain the viability of this business.
Given our investment of N2, 000000 and a turnover of (20%) reduction in turnover will beN1, 252000. This means that the turnover will
reduce to from (N6, 260000) to (N5, 00800) and the business is still very viable and profitable.
