I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Misale Dairy Farming and Processing PLC were legally established on 01/12/2015 by two
shareholders namely Ato Shimelis Bizuneh and W/ro Frezewud Gelan. As per the shareholder
meeting minuet dated on 02/05/2008 E.C, paid up capital of the company is increased from Birr 4.5
million to Birr 8.14 million.
The project is located in Amhara National Regional State, North Shewa Zone, Angolela and Tera
district, Seriti Kebele, 103 Km from Country capital Addis Ababa and 27 Km from Zonal capital
Debre Birihan alongside the national high way that goes to Desie and Mekele. The project site is
accessible all seasons enabling it to obtain raw materials and easily supply its final product to the
market.
In view of the fact that market condition for the proposed products has vital role for the realization of
the objectives of establishment of the proposed project, the appraisal team has also tried to review the
current as well as forecasted demand and supply condition and price of the planned products based
on the commodity study. As per the commodity study of the Bank, we observed that there is excess
demand for the product. The project is planned to be supply product to domestic market.
In addition to this, the technical feasibility of the project area, the project site is accessible with all
infrastructures like electric power, and communication devices that are required by the project are
found in the area. On the other hand the project requires considerable amount of clean water for the
animals and processing unit. Accordingly there is a document submitted by the company which states
that it has completed bore hole. However, there is no valuation report made but the CRMD-I and the
appraisal team is not able to consider it as equity contribution. Therefore, the CRMD-I should
undergo valuation and deliver it before final appraisal report.
The financial projection made to test the viability of the venture indicates profitability of the
proposed venture. As per the financial projection made the total investment cost would be Birr 52.64
million out of which Birr 39.48 (75%) million would be DBE loan & the remaining balance of Birr
13.16 (25%), out of which 8.063 in kind and the reset 5.097 would be in cash equity contribution.
Financial projections for the project showed that the project is financially profitable and can repay the
loan. The project’s financial forecast results point out that it will generate net profit of Birr 2.76
4 | Page
million on the first year and Birr 12.00 million at the end of 10th year. Furthermore, it will register a
cumulative net cash flow of Birr 3.31 million in first year and Birr 55.18 million at the end of 10th
year. FIRR before and after tax are 24% 21% respectively, indicating that the investment return
above the discounted rate.
Accordingly, the team has carefully assessed the key elements of the project and considering its
socio-economic benefits that determine the success rate of the project. The assigned appraisal team
recommends the total loan amount of Birr 39,480,090 for the partial finances of Misale Dairy and
Processing Plc.

III. MARKET STUDY
Dairy products are generally defined as foodstuffs produced from mammalian milk which is an
opaque white liquid. The exact components of raw milk vary by species, but it contains significant
amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C. The Food and Agricultural
Organization of the United Nation (FAO) defines milk product as a “product obtained by any
processing of milk, which may contain food additives and other ingredients functionally necessary
for the processing”. Milk processors produce a wide range of milk products, the most common milk
product are: Liquid milk, Yoghurt, Cheese, Butter.
In Ethiopia there are various factors which affect the demand for dairy products. The major
determinants of demand for milk and milk products are those stated below:
15 | P a g e
Personal Disposal Income: - As disposable income of the consumers increases so does the
demand for the dairy products. Especially in Ethiopia, milk is considered as a luxury product
for urban dwellers, which is due to low income base of urbanites.
Population:- As number of population increases so does consumption of dairy products
incresess
Unemployment: - As the unemployment rate declines, consumption of dairy products is
expected to increase. When people are employed, they will have purchasing power to buy
dairy products for consumption.
Inflation: - The inflation process in a given country has also a bearing in reducing the
demand for a product just by reducing the purchasing power of the society. Ethiopia is
currently exhibiting a rampant inflation, which of course, its impact is visible.
Culture and Religion: -religion has a factor on determining the demand for dairy products.
There are religions that requires for its followers to fast a number of days within a year. This
makes the demand for the dairy products (especially raw milk) to be reduced by a significant
margin. In some cultures one type of processed diary product may be taken as cultural food
while in the others’ prohibited for consumption for the same reason. But, on aggregate the
same factors affect the consumption of each of the processed dairy products and hence, the
position of demand.
Others: - The negative perception of the society towards processed milk has adverse impact
on demand for the same. Socioeconomic and demographic factors like age, family size and
composition, and education also affect consumption and demand for milk.
GDP Growth Rate (g):- Ethiopia’s economy (GDP) on average has depicted double digit
growth for last four years except the GDP Exhibited 10.3% growth in 2006 E.C (MoFED)
Per Capita Consumption :- The per capita demand for the products is taken by dividing the
amount of production of the products in the base year (2014) by the number of urban
population in the base year; and found to be 2.29 lit, 0.0312 Kg, and 0.03054kg; respectively,
for cow milk (pasteurized) ,butter and ghee; and cheese.

III.2 Current Demand
4.2.2.1 Demand for processed dairy products
Ethiopia has one of the lowest levels of per capita dairy products consumer in the world. Processed
dairy products are majorly consumed in urban areas especially in Addis Ababa and other big regional
towns.
According to the table presented below, the demand for the processed dairy products is forecasted to
grow significantly in all projection years.
According to the study conducted by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic
Relations (March 2008), the relationship between determinants of demand and the demand for the
product can be defined by:
Where;
In determining demand we use variables such as demand of the commodity the year t, projected
number of population, per capita income growth rate, income elasticity of demand for the
commodity. The demand for the products is forecasted by substituting the variables by the values.
17 | P a g e
Table 4.1: Forecasted Demand for Processed Dairy Products
As it can be seen in the above table, the demand for processed milk is increasing significantly in the
projected years. This opens a great opportunity for new entrants intending to invest in milk
processing industry.
a. Domestic production
The domestic production of processed dairy products comes from traditional processers, small scale
processers and commercial scale (medium and large scale dairy products processing
industry).Industrially, raw milk can be processed in to different products. That includes pasteurized
milk, evaporates and condensed milk, skim milk and butter milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, ghee
and whey.
According to the data compiled by CSA (Report on Large and Medium Scale Manufacturing and
Electricity Industries Survey), the country has an experience of processing dairy products. The report
includes the production of pasteurized milk, butter and ghee, and cheese. Even though the dairy
products are many and differentiated of course, the report has included the data on three of them; this
commodity study will also focus on those three.
The pasteurized milk production increased from 14,629,100 liters in 2008 to 28,215,582 liters in
2013, which has grown by 15.64% per year, on average. It was also showing a continuous increase
18 | P a g e
from year to year lest for the year 2011, in which production showed a decline as compared to its
2010 production figure.
Production of industrially processed butter and ghee decreased from 365,000 kg in the year 2008 to
253,226 kg in 2013; however which has grown annually by 11.06%, on average during the years
under consideration. Production is growing throughout the period expect for the years 2011 and
2012. The production of cheese, on the other hand, is growing throughout the period, from 236,000
kg in the year 2008 to 314,192 kg in 2013, has grown by 11.42% per year on average.

b. Import
Ethiopia imports a variety of dairy products which most of them do not have domestic substitute. The
country import more than 18 processed dairy products classified by their HS code .The major imports
include; milk and cream of different formula, butter, yoghurt, cheese and other types of products.
The six digits HS Code classifications show that milk and cream, which is in solid form, is
subdivided into various forms. The products vary from one another on their fat content, whether it is
sweetened or unsweetened, concentrated or not. Milk and cream is also the highest to be imported to
the country in volume terms, also.
Some processed dairy products have no domestic substitute; technically there is no domestic supply of them.
But, imported butter and cheese have a domestic substitute. The import of those products is presented in
the table 4.3. The increase in amount of import is positive except for solid milks and creams.

As indicated in the above table total supply of naturalized milk, cheese and yoghurt has shown an
increment for year covering 2009-2013.Whereas solid milk and cream, butter and ghee has shown a
negative trend.
In Ethiopia though the sector is not being well supported by a government policy and constrained to
some extent by ever increasing price of animal feed, the processed dairy products industry is taking
the attention of investors that the production of the products is increasing significantly. That is
probably because the startup capital is relatively small and the production process is also easy to
learn and adapt.
As it is presented in the table 4.5, the production of processed dairy products is increasing with
significant rate. In this commodity study, it is assumed that supply will increase in the future with the
rate that it has been doing in the past.

The gap between the supply and demand for all the products is positive. This is in tally with the
increase in the importation of dairy products. It is also shows that the people attention towards
consumption of processed dairy products is improving. This is because, impart the expansion of cities
is making the supply unprocessed milk difficult and consumers are moving towards the processed
milk products.

The second research commodity study of the bank shows that, price of dairy products increased
between years the year 2012 to 2014. The highest price increment is for Pasteurized milk which has
increased by 21.43% and the lowest is for yoghurt, which is has increased by 4.35%. The price of
quality raw milk in year 2014 is 12.25 ETB. Comparison of the two years prices is presented here

IV. TECHNICAL ASPECT OF MISALE DAIRY
III.11 Infrastructure
The location has sufficient infrastructural facilities like electricity, telephone, and access road. The
overall infrastructure development of the country has benefited the project area with high standard
asphalted road.
25 | P a g e
III.14 Input Requirement and Availability
Exotic breeds of cattle have higher milk yield and reproductive performance which results in higher
productivity as compared to the local ones. The most widely known exotic breeds of dairy cattle that
are suitable for agro-ecology of Ethiopia are Holstein Friesian and Jersey. Regarding to the amount
of milk production, Holstein Friesian provide high production as compared to Jersey; whereas, Jersey
breeds yield higher percentage of fat as compared to Holstein Friesians. Therefore, in Ethiopia most
commercialized dairy farms prefer Holstein Friesian cross breed than Jersey by considering the
amount of milk obtained from the breed. Currently there is no organized heifer breeding center that
serves as a source for dairy producers; but most dairy farmers are purchasing from different
individual suppliers. Therefore, the company has planned to procure its initial heard (pregnant
heifers) form Maleda Dairy Enterprise and Moges Kase Dairy Production Enterprise
III.14.2 Feed
Dairy cows use feed for different purposes; for milk production, maintenance, energy, growth and
reproduction. Feed is one of the major inputs that are necessary for dairy production and cost feed
cover around 60 % of the total running cost of the dairy business.
Dairy feeds are categorized into two major groups; roughage and concentrate. Roughages are green
fodders (forage plants that grow in the farm land and are offered to the animals freshly), green
fodders hay which is sun dried forage with considerable nutrient and silage which is preserved green
fodder in which anaerobic fermentation. Roughages constitute the major portion of dairy animals’
feed. The other feed type is concentrate which is obtained mostly from Agro-industrial byproducts
and mixed in a variety of proportions to form a feed supplement the cattle nutritional requirement
based on their physiology, age, and productivity etc.
26 | P a g e
III.14.3 Feed Requirement
Calf feed requirement
The amount and type of feed required by a dairy animal vary according to their age, sex,
productivity, physiological stage and such as pregnancy, lactation etc
Milk is a feed for a calve used until its age 70 days or 98 days ( weaving time).However, weaving at
70 days is more economical in milk consumption and weaving at 70 and 98 days of age has almost
the same impact on the growth of the calf. The consumption of milk by the calf in the form of
colostrums in the first 3 or 4 day use to develop natural immunity and after then it is in the form of
whole milk. Calves starting consuming hay and concentrates after a week and introduce gradually.
Under commercial farm, male calves are sold at 15 days of age in most of the time and the amounts
of feed required in the first 15 days are milk and latter hay or concentrate is considered in the study.
Heifer Daily Feed Requirement
According to the data obtained from Ethiopian Agricultural Research Institute indicates that a heifer
whose age is from 1-2 year, the average amount of feed required is 1.75-2 kg of concentrates and 4-5
kg of dry feed. When the heifer age is from 2-3 year, the amount of concentrates is 2-3 kg and dry
feed is 5-7 kg. However most of the time and the more advisable way of determining the required
feed for heifer are based on the live weight of the heifer. Accordingly, the total daily feed (TDF)
requirement of heifer is determined by 3% of the live weight of the heifer. From the total daily feed
30 % of concentrates and the rest 70 % is dry feed (second update Dairy farm & Processing research
commodity, 2014).

appraisal team because the commodity study for dairy farms and processing plants recommends that
a dairy farm to secure its own forage production area or has to agree with a forage producing firm to
supply forage to the dairy farm throughout the year. Consequently, the appraisal team demands either

III.16 Raw milk
In milk processing industry: Raw milk. Additives and Packing material are the main raw material .As
per the feasibility study submitted by the company; the project planed two sources of raw milk for
processing the envisaged dairy products. The primary source is from own farm and this is planned to
be realized by purchasing 200 crossed Holstein Frisian pregnant heifers cover around 40% the
required raw milk. The other strategy is to collect raw milk by directly purchasing form long term
contractual agreement to reach the planned processing capacity. As per the comment given from the
appraisal team members to have a long term milk supply contract agreement; based on the comment
given the company enters a new agreement with three different unions: Ayzak-Abafogi milk and
milk product suppler cooperative union up to 3000L/day, Meki-Andinet Milk development
cooperative 2000L/day and Kokeb Milk development cooperative has agreed to supply 4000-
5000L/day which help the company to satisfy daily raw milk requirement which is not able to satisfy
from own farm is planned to be supplied based on the agreement.

temperature and moisture, the bacteria are able to ferment the milk sugar (lactose), and then produce
lactic acid. The milk proteins then coagulate and set, to form yogurt. A colorless liquid called
acetaldehyde is also produced during fermentation and gives yogurt its distinct flavor. Yogurt can be
made from different types of milk, including skimmed, semi-skimmed and whole milk.
The company has planned to produce yoghurt, utilizing (1%) of the raw milk, but detail of the starter
culture and flavor type are not clearly mentioned in the feasibility study; available data from
previously appraised projects is used and the company is expected to submit Performa invoice for
starter culture and additives (flavored )

III.17.6 Production Process and Production Capacity
Transportation of raw milk collected from the supplier to processing area is performed by
refrigeration truck. But the raw milk obtained from own farm can be transported using pumps that are
connected to central refrigeration since it is in the same compound.
Overall milk processing includes temporary preservation (raw milk handling), filtration/clarification
of raw milk, separation of all or part of the milk fat, production of cream and butter, pasteurization,
homogenization (if required), deodorization (if required), further product-specific processing and
distribution of final products.
The machinery of the project has a total processing capcity of 8,000 liters of milk per day. Production
of the plant is assumed to start at 60% and gradually increases year to year to reach to 95% on fifth
year. Thus, the maximum capacity utilization of this project is planned to be 95%.
32 | P a g e
III.19 Machineries and Equipment
As it is obviously known, selection of machineries and equipment’s has critical importance since it
has the capacity to determine the quantity and quality standard of the product intended to produce.
Therefore, it is mandatory to thoroughly identify whether the appropriate type of plant that meets the
consumer requirements selected & all the necessary machineries & equipment are included. Based on
this fact, considering the submitted pro forma invoice, after appropriateness of all the necessary
machineries & equipments identified, the technical team has approved milk processing machine
supplied by Shanghai Beyond Machinery Co. Ltd. The aggregate processing capacity of the project
is 8,000 liters per day with total cost of Birr 6,144,517.48.

used for transportation of management staff. The total cost of trucks and vehicles is estimated to be
Birr 3,048,174 and the detail is attached in the annex part of this appraisal report.
III.24 Utilities
It is obvious that utilities like electric power, backup generator, water and communication devices
like telephone, internet and fax are among important facilities that are supposed to be fulfilled for
smooth operation of every project. Accordingly, the project site is accessible with all infrastructures
like electric power, and communication devices. With regard to backup generator, there is no
Performa submitted. However, since the raw material of the project has high perishable nature, for
successful processing of its final product, the need of backup generator is a must. Therefore the
company should present per forma invoice before final appraisal.
On the other hand, the project requires considerable amount of clean water for the milk processing, to
wash houses, milk utensils, for the cattle and the processing equipment. Accordingly there is a
document submitted by the company which states that it has completed bore hole. However, there is
no valuation report made by the CRMD-I and the appraisal team is not able to consider it as equity
contribution. Therefore, the CRMD-I should undergo valuation and deliver it before final appraisal
report.

VII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
8.1 Conclusion
Even though Ethiopia holds large potential for dairy development, the country hasn’t been benefited
from the sector to the extent that is expected to be. As a result, the government has given a due focus
to eradicate bottleneck associated with the sector and supporting those who engaged and motivating
to involve in the sector. Along with government strategy, DBE has also set dairy farm and milk
processing projects among the priority area projects so as to provide financial as well as technical
support.
Misale Dairy Farming and Processing PLC were legally established on 01/12/2015 by tow
shareholders namely Ato Shimelis Bizuneh and W/ro Frezewud Gelan. As per. the shareholder
meeting minute dated on 02/05/2008 E.C, paid up capital of the company is increased from Birr 4.5
million to Birr 8.14 million
The project is located in Amhara National Regional State, North Shewa Zone, Angolela and Tera
district , Seriti Kebele, 103 Km from Country capital Addis Ababa and 27 Km from Zonal capital
Debre Birihan alongside the national high way that goes to Desie and Mekele. The project site is
accessible all seasons enabling it to obtain raw materials and easily supply its final product to the
market
With regard to market, indeed dairy products are in short of supply in the general Ethiopian market.
Misale Dairy and Processing PLC (Milk production & processing plant) planned to produce and
process milk produced on farm & collected from the raw milk supplier union. Engaging in dairy
farming sustains the project in that where there is shortage of milk supply due to increased price of
raw milk or failure of milk suppliers to abide by their agreement, and then the company can run by
offering premium price for milk suppliers.
The due diligence assessment of the company shows that it is legal in all terms and the promoters are
creditworthy. Market assessment indicates that there is huge unsatisfied demand for milk and milk
products in the country. Technical feasibility assessment also shows that establishing a dairy farm
and milk processing plant in the area is recommendable and the machinery and equipment are
appropriate to the envisaged production.
