PART ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Pulses & Oilseeds Ethiopia currently grows and exports a wide variety of oilseeds and
pulses, including sesame seeds, Niger seeds, linseeds, sunflower seeds, groundnuts,
rapeseeds, castor oil seeds, pumpkin seeds, haricot beans, pea-beans, horse beans, and
chickpea. Of these, chickpea is perhaps the most significant, as Ethiopia is currently the
largest producer in Africa. Chickpea is grown by over one million rural households and
contributes significantly to the country’s agriculture and economyis one of the fastest-
growing economies. It has made a significant progress in industrialization. The Ethiopian
government has embarked on a policy aiming to invite as many overseas investors as
possible to the country. Industrialization will contribute to the economy of Ethiopia through a
Page 5
large number of small production units. The industrial sector contributes among others to the
expansion of employment opportunities, output and export and fosters entrepreneurship.
Industry is also one of the pillars through which the socio-economic objectives of balancing
development in rural, semi-urban areas. Ethiopia is Africa’s second most populous country
having wide range of market for industrial productions. Industries are indicators of economic
growth and the key drivers of innovations and development.
Oromia Investment Commission is one of government institution established as per relevant
laws of the national regional state so as to facilitate establishment and expansion of private
investment in 20 zonal and 16 autonomous urban administration of the region.
The commission has given responsibilities and duties to identify and study potential
resources and opportunities available for development and expansion of investment
activities. It has also given responsibilities to provide quality services to investors and
promote the identified potential by using different means so as attract potential investors
capable of investing in the regional state.
Oil Seed production is central to food security, especially as global population is predicted to
surpass the 9 billion mark by 2050. Adverse conditions for crop production resulting from a
changing climate, such as increasing temperatures, frequent droughts, soil salinization,
changing intensities and frequencies of disease and pest incidence and their transboundary
spread, are all factors that further threaten food security. Genetic diversity of crop species
achieved through breeding, and optimal soil and water conditions in the growing
environment through management, constitute the essential requirements for increasing crop
production. Breeding improvements in crops include increasing crop yields, improving
quality, and enhancing resilience to adverse conditions such as diseases, pests, and
environmental stress including drought, heat, salinity etc. Management and agronomic
practices address soil, water and nutrient requirements of the crop to ensure increased and
sustained production. This chapter discusses nuclear, isotopic and related techniques used in
creating new genetic diversity for crop improvement, and in the management of soil, water
and nutrients for crop production.
Our country Ethiopia is one of the East African countries with the diversified climatic
conditions, natural scenery and resource bases. Currently the country has a total population
Page 6
of about 100 million of which more than 40 million is found in Oromia regional state.
Oromia is one of the regional states of Ethiopia with very fertile land, very conducive
weather condition both for crop production and animal husbandry. The country’s Gross
Domestic Product or GDP (was 19.39 billion US$ in 2007 with per capita income of 245
US$. In the same year, agriculture accounted for almost 47 percent of GDP and about 85
percent of exports. Ethiopia is the third largest populated country in Africa with a total
population number of 77.4 million (2005), out of which 84% of the populations reside in the
rural area. About 80 percent of the economically active population is engaged in agriculture.
The cultivated area covered in 2005/06 was about 11.3 million ha, of which 10.5 million ha
and 0.77 million ha covered with annual and permanent crops respectively.
Agriculture in Ethiopia has a major influence on all development processes in the country, as
some 85% of the total employment and 90% of the country’s export are based on agriculture
(Environmental Policy, 1997). It also contributes about 50% of the country’s gross domestic
product (GDP) and supports around 70% of the raw material requirements of agro-industries.
This high proportion of the country’s economic gains made from agriculture depends mainly
on the existing diversity of indigenous crops/plants and livestock. Crop production is
estimated to contribute on average about 60%, livestock 27% and forestry and other
subsectors around 13% of the total agricultural value (Ministry of Water Resource, 2001).
As a result of shifts in rain patterns, crop production in the highlands and in most areas of
low elevation can be affected by drought, leading to food shortages. The response is often
food aid supply, which may involve grain distribution, especially of maize and wheat.
As a measure to mitigate the negative impacts of grain aid on the market of prices of local
crops, strategic arrangements have been made between donors and the government, whereby
grain aid supply is based on local sources as much as possible. This strategy has proven
useful in keeping the local grain prices at reasonable levels.
Agricultural practices and farming systems in Ethiopia are based on diverse agro-ecological
conditions that in turn require varying approaches in crop production. In general terms, the
agro-climatic zones of the country can be grouped into three types: Kolla (warm semi-arid, at
500–1500m above sea level), Woinadega (cool semi-arid, at 1500–2400m) and Dega (cool
and humid, higher than 2400m). More recent discipline oriented studies further distinguish
Page 7
and define this agro-ecological classification by linking related a-biotic factors such as
annual rainfall, altitude and temperature (Negash et al, 1989).
The following five main agricultural production systems can be distinguished in the country:
• Frequently varying agro-climatic conditions with diverse cultural and farming practices
remain characteristics of agriculture in Ethiopia. These can be grouped into three major
systems (Feyissa, 1999):
The highland mixed-farming system practiced in areas of higher elevation, usually above
2000m as a crop-livestock complex involving the cultivation of diverse crops. Continuous
cropping is exercised through crop rotation, where cereal production alternates with the
production of legume and oil crops as a means of maintaining soil fertility. Barley, oats and
highland legume crops dominate.
The low plateau and valley mixed-farming system practiced in the intermediate or low
highlands, mountain foothills and upper valleys, at elevations ranging from 1500 to 2000m.
Both crop and livestock productions are economically essential; crop production is
dominated by sorghum and maize followed by wheat, teff and some legume and oil crops.
The pastoral and agro-pastoral farming system is practiced in the arid and semi-arid zones
mainly at elevations below 1500m and with annual rainfall less than 450mm.
In the arid zone, nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoral livestock production dominates, with
camels and goats as important components. In the semi-arid zone, semi-nomadic or semi
sedentary agro-pastoral production is practiced with sorghum and maize as main crops.
Livestock production in the semi-arid zone focuses on cattle and sheep. Water and range
evelopments are important elements for improving both crop and livestock production under
this system.
Major staple crops in Ethiopia vary according to the cultural and agroecological conditions.
The indigenous Ethiopian tetraploid wheat (Triticum durum) and the introduced bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum) have a wider coverage in the northern, central and south eastern parts of
the country. Other important staples are barley in the highlands; teff (Eragrostis tef) with its
Page 8
wide adaptation to various agro-ecologies; sorghum, maize and millets in the lowlands; and
different root crops such as enset (Enset ventricosum) and yam (Dioscorea spp.). Major
legume crops are horse bean (Vicia faba), pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris)
and vetch (Lathyrus satives); these are all essential dietary components along with the other
staples. Major oil crops are gomenzer (Brassica Carinata), noog or niger seed (Guizotia
abyssinica), linseed (Linum usitatissimun) and sesame (Sesamum indicum) dominant in the
lowlands.
Coffee is an economically important crop in the east, southwest, and the western parts of the
country. Various types of spices, including Aframomun corarima and Capsicum spp. and
Piper longum are widely distributed in humid areas. Cotton (Gossypium spp.), which has
three wild species in Ethiopia, and kenaf (Hibiscus spp.) are important cash crops particularly
for lowland farmers. There are also many wild plant species which are used as food,
particularly during food shortage in the interval between planting and harvest. Some
domesticated types of these plant species still occur with their wild relatives in some parts of
the country.
The government of the country has been excreting its maximum effort to expand investment
opportunities in the country by designing different policies and strategies that will facilitate
investment through attracting both domestic and foreign investors. Likewise, the Oromia
regional state government has been working day and night to make poverty history by
making its door open to investors both (domestic country and foreign) to come and invest in
the region. Therefore, it is this ample opportunity that attracts the new investors to come to
Oromia for investing in crop production. Hence, being one of the crop producers has its own
contribution to satisfy the demand of the current market. The Oil seed production farms
project is planned to supply: different crops types.
The present economic policy of the country is highly inviting the private sectors to invest
their capitals to. As a result, the investors respond to the government’s invitation, by
contributing their share to the development process. The project is needed because of the
highly growing population of the country and its need of more crops supply.

1.2 Promoter’s profile

The promoter of this project Ahimed Sh/ Hasan Mohammed has been undertaking
different businesses activities for the last 5 years. Among the different businesses that they
have been running, production of different business.
1.3. Objectives of the Project

Major Ethiopian export products include: coffee, livestock products (skins and hides, leather,
live animals and meat), oil seeds and pulses, fruits, vegetables and flowers, textiles, natural
gum, spices and mineral products.
Seed and Pulses farm as an envisaged projected deemed to contribute to the economic
development of the country in the following ways.
In addition to the current efforts underway to increase the supply and improve the quality of
these export Crop products, Ethiopia is highly encouraging investments in other currently
unexploited, higher value-added export sectors. Ethiopia has tremendous potential for
investment in agro processing. Many of its agricultural products can be exported without
being processed, while others can be processed before they are brought to domestic and
foreign markets. While the government encourages the export of unprocessed agricultural
products, it has placed a priority on the export of processed products, which involves and
stimulates the growth of the agro-processing sector. Through the development of agro-
processing, Ethiopia's agricultural sector can achieve swift and sustained long-term economic
development. For that reason, the (the owners of this project) motivated to engage in the
production of different cereal crops which primarily have and export oriented objectives.
Therefore, since the project owner has a deep- rooted experience in the field, the objectives
of this project are:
 To initiate the production of organic crops though scientific methods and modern
technology.
 To serve as the source of government revenue through business income tax.
 To introduce modern technology that related to crop production by using different new
varieties crops of high yield through modern irrigation schemes
Page 10
 To serve as a role model for other investors who wants to invest in similar business
undertakings in Ethiopia in general and Oromia in particular.
 To contribute somewhat to the governments objectives of reducing the problem of un-
employment through creating employment opportunities to the citizens.
 To generate foreign exchange earning for the country since the product is exported to
abroad.
 To provide selected seeds for farmers that are produced through irrigation in the area.
 To contribute some to the area of self-food sufficiency in crop production if gaps are
created.
 Oil Seed and pulses Cleaning and sorting of agro commodities is in practice since ancient
time. Initially, this process was carrying out at household level is now scaled up to
industrial level looking to production and demand of all these commodities. It is
necessary to clean, grade and sort all raw cereals, pulses, legumes, oil seeds and whole
spices before any type of consumption or use in other products.
Cereals, pulses, legumes, oilseeds and whole spices are needed specific post-harvest
operations, start right from farm after harvesting, and divided into three stages:
1) Farm Level Operations;
2) Primary Processing and
3) Secondary Processing.
The farm level operations include are: threshing, winnowing, drying and storage. The
primary processing of whole agro-commodities include: cleaning, grading, sorting and
packing; whereas, secondary processing includes value addition like grinding (flour or
powder making); blending, flaking, baking, roasting, puffing, etc. It is necessary to use
cleaned and sorted grains, pulses, legumes and whole spices for further value addition.

1.4. Basic Features of Project Area

1.4.1. Location:
Illubabor (Oromo: Illuu Abbaa Booraa) is a zone in Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Illubabora
is named for the former province Illubabor. It is bordered on the south by the Southern
Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, on the southwest by the Gambela Region, on the
west by Kelem Welega Zone, on the north by West Welega Zone, and Benishangul-Gumuz
Region, on the northwest by East Welega Zone, and on the east by Jimma. Towns and cities
in Illubabora include Bedele, Gore and Metu.
The Central Statistical Agency (CSA) reported that 14,855 tons of coffee were produced in
this zone in the year ending in 2005, based on inspection records from the Ethiopian Coffee
and Tea authority. This represents 12.9% of the Region's output and 6.5% of Ethiopia's total
output.[1]
Historically, Illubabora has been considered one of the food-exporting areas of Ethiopia, but
beginning in 1997 poor crops harvests and the appearance of crop diseases such as Grey leaf
spot, caused by the fungus Cercospora zeaemaydis (not previously common in Ethiopia) led
to a deterioration in conditions. By 1999, signs of the seriousness of the situation included
empty household granaries, people begging and committing crimes in the hope they will be
fed in jail, sending children to live with relatives or friends, and reduced student enrollment
in schools
Climatic conditions:
In the district the amount of temperature that receives is greatly modified by latitude and
longitude extent. Based on altitude the districts are classified in to three-agro climatic
specials Oil Seed production farm District namely, High land, Midhigh land and lowland.
Matu district is characterized by a great diversity of temperature as a result its wide range of
altitudinal extent. In the Eastern part of lowland area along Dual River the area experience
moderately warm temperature. This thermal District covers 21% of the total area of the
Page 12
district. Semi highland temperature areas of the district are found in all part of the area except
in the northern part of the district. These thermal Districts cover 63.6% of the total areas of
the district. High land temperature areas of the district are found north part of the district
along Matu district which account 15.4%.
Rainfall: The annual average rainfall of the wereda ranges from 740mm with the range of
580 to 900
Temperature: The average annual temperature is about 22.1oc, maximum 28.5oc and with
minimum of 18.5 ocand about 67% of the the woreda
1.4.3 land Use Plan

Location, infrastructure and land
Location
The envisaged project is established in MATU district. The districts is located at a
distance of surrounding 480 km far from Addis Ababa to the east part of the country
east.
The total land required for the project is about 200 hek.
Page 14
1.4.5. Soils
In Matu zone, about 25 types of soil (according to Atlas of bale zone, July 2011) have been
identified. The major are as follow;
1. Chromic and Pellic Vertisols: These are clay Black Basaltic soil which mostly develop
from tertiary volcanic rocks this soil are very fertile they fairly good Agricultural potential.
However, they have a limited agricultural use. The Soil shrink, develop deep cracks and
become very hard in dry season. They swell and become sticky during the wet (rainy)
Seasons. Besides, because of their low permeability, they are more prone to water logging
during the rainy season.
2. Dystric, Chromic, Eutric, Calcic and Vertic Cambisols: They develop from recent
lava and linked with sedimentary rocks .Their Agricultural value is limited as they are mostly
Page 15
found on rugged and steep terrain. For this reason this type of soil left under natural plant
cover.
3. Chromic, Orthic and Vertic Luvisols (associated with alluvial accumulation of high
clay continent): Soils are usually dark brown or reddish and suitable for agricultural
activities.
4. Dystric and Eutric Nitosols (deep with high clay continent): Soils have good
agricultural potential (good physical and chemical properties, stable structure and high
moisture storage capacity).
1.5. Socio Economic Activities of the Population:

In Bale zone, high number of population is found in young age economic status. According
to 2000 estimation, in the urban areas of Bale zone, about 113,423 (59%) populations are
economically active and about 78861 populations are economically inactive. The dependency
ratio of urban of the zone is 69.5%; this means every 30.5% of active population in urban
area is responsible to feed itself and the remaining 69.5% of economically inactive
population. In rural areas of the zone about 588,861 populations are economically active and
about 567089 populations are economically inactive. Therefore, the dependency ratio of the
rural area of the zone is about 96.3%; it means every 3.7% of active population is responsible
to feed itself and the remaining 96.3% of economically inactive population.
It is approximately 409 km form Addis and it has a very attractive climate for the growth of
different kinds of cereals such as wheat, barely, teff and etc. In addition, it is very conducive
for the production of different fruits and vegetables. Moreover, the investment office of the
zone has been exerting its maximum effort to boost the investment opportunities of the zone
through different promotional strategies. The present favorable economic situation put the
Zone at the advantage of attracting the private sector investment. The establishment of new
Hotels and other infrastructural development are among others very crucial for attracting
investors in the Zone. Hence, the establishment of such project is very important in creating
Page 16
employment opportunity in the area both for skilled and unskilled labors. Other than being
employed in government and private organization, most of the population of the town is
engaged in trade, be it formal or informal. Unlike the urban people, the rural population is
engaged in farming. Therefore, aside with all other projects which are undertaken so far by
private and government, this project is deemed to provide employment opportunities both
perm ant and temporary for about 500 individuals at the initial period and will continue
employing every year. From this total employment opportunity generated by the project 100
are skilled labors 400 are unskilled labors.
PART TWO
THE MARKET DEMAND POTENTIAL
2.1. Market Situation

Since the adoption of the new economic policy in 1991, agricultural markets have been
reformed and prices of commodities are determined through market mechanisms. However,
due to the weak bargaining power of producers and harvest fluctuations, the “price free”
notion of markets have been found to affect producers (EEA, 2004). Agricultural product
markets in Ethiopia are characterized by seasonal gluts and shortages which in turn affect the
marketing behavior of producers, traders, and consumers. A year of bumper harvest might be
followed by a year of severe drought, for example in the years 2002 and 2003 (EEA, 2004).
Only 40 years ago, Ethiopia exported an average of 90,000 tons of grains and legumes to its
East African and Arabian Peninsula neighbors annually (Hailu 1991). Cereals production has
remained flat since the early 1970s, however. With more than a doubling of population
between 1970-90, available food per capita has declined. Ethiopia is endowed with a wealth
of natural resources: diverse agro ecological systems, many with adequate rainfall and soils
fertile enough to sustain a wide variety of crops. Only 40% of potential arable land, and less
than 5% of irrigable land, is currently being used (Faught 1988, cited in Stroud and
Mulugetta 1992).
Page 17
Policies affecting agricultural development and in particular agricultural exports in

developing countries have undergone two major changes in the 1980s and 1990s. Initially
during the 1980s, the structural adjustments programme (SAP) of the World Bank (WB) and
International Monetary fund (IMF) focused on stimulating an increase in foreign exchange
earnings through reduction in structural constraints in developing countries. These included
policy reforms in monetary, fiscal, trade and domestic policies. The measures included
devaluation of currencies to create incentives for reallocation of resources towards
international trade and/or tradable commodities, removal of export taxes on agricultural
commodities, domestic market liberalization and reduction of the government’s role in
production and marketing of agricultural commodities. During the 1990s, the policy reforms
on trade were enhanced with the conclusion of the Uruguay Round of the general agreement
on tariffs and trade (GATT) negotiations which culminated with the establishment of the new
World Trade Organization (WTO) and subsequent signing of agreements by member
countries in 1995. For agriculture, the negotiations led to the establishment of the agreement
on agriculture (AOA), which for the first time introduced a set of rules that emphasized
liberalization in international agricultural trade. The main elements of the AOA were to
improve market access, reduce domestic support and export subsidies.
As clearly indicated from the above export data, Ethiopia has not yet producing for export
and thus, this project is primarily deemed to export to different countries of the world.
Therefore, the envisaged project will export 20% of its products to different countries and
sells 80% of its products to the domestic market.
Hence to reach customers, different marketing vehicles will be used. Among the different
marketing strategies and tools for promotion and controlling the market the center will use:
 Both printed and non printed forms of advertising,
 Effective and customer centric marketing strategies that are the marketing
strategies that focuses on effectively handling customers.
 Electronic advertising through internet, faxes and other technologies.
Page 18
2.2. Competition
There are different forms of competition that may face this project. These are price and non
price based competition. Moreover, there are different competitors that will compete with the
project under discussion either directly or indirectly both in the domestic and foreign market.
But the project under discussion has diversified marketing strategies that could enable it cope
up with the different competitors in the market. Moreover the Project will frequently conduct
competitors research which focuses on, the strength and the weaknesses, the different
competitor’s strategies, the techniques they use in rendering the service, their customer
handling methods, their product quality and others.
2.3. The Production of Crops
2.3.1 Production Hygiene

Crop mean that which is cropped, cut, or gathered from a single field, or of a single kind of
grain or fruit, or in a single season; especially, the product of what is planted in the earth;
fruit; harvest. In production, farmers are faced with many challenges. They must be efficient
in order to remain in business and their production systems must be sensitive to
environmental concerns. These requirements are in addition to the usual challenges of
weather, pests and uncertain markets. A "Sustainable Crop Production System" is a term
often used to describe a management philosophy that will be adopted by those farmers who
are going to remain as the future producers of our food, feed and fiber.
It is this combination of productivity and responsibility that most accurately describes the
term "Sustainable Crop Production Systems." The production process of this project is
environmentally benign as it produces organic crops. Different types of cereal crops are
grown and harvested under a wide range of climatic and diverse geographical conditions,
using various agricultural inputs and technologies, and on farms of varying sizes. Biological,
chemical and physical hazards may therefore vary significantly from one type of production
to another. In each primary production area, it is necessary to consider the particular
Page 19
agricultural practices that promote the production of cereal crops, taking into account the
conditions specific to the primary production area, type of products, and methods used.
2.3.2 Agricultural input requirements

Agricultural inputs should not contain microbial or chemical contaminants (as defined under
the Recommended International Code of Practice – General Principles of Food Hygiene
(CAC/RCP 1-1969, Rev 3 (1997) at levels that may adversely affect the safety of cereal
crops and taking into consideration the WHO guidelines on the safe use of waste water and
excreta in agriculture and aquaculture as appropriate.
2.2.2.1 Water for primary production

• Growers should identify the sources of water used on the farm (municipality, re-used
irrigation water, well, open canal, reservoir, rivers, lakes, farm ponds etc.).
They should assess its microbial and chemical quality, and its suitability for intended use,
and identify corrective actions to prevent or minimize contamination (e.g. from livestock,
sewage treatment, human habitation).
• Where necessary, growers should have the water they use tested for microbial and chemical
contaminants. The frequency of testing will depend on the water source and the risks of
environmental contamination including intermittent or temporary contamination (e.g. heavy
rain, flooding, etc.). If the water source is found to be contaminated corrective actions should
be taken to ensure that the water is suitable for its intended use. Therefore this project is take
in to account all this.
 Water for irrigation and harvesting
The envisaged plc will use both sprinkler and drip irrigation. Water used for agricultural
purposes should be of suitable quality for its intended use. Special attention to water quality
should be considered for the following situations:
• Irrigation by water delivery techniques that expose the fruits of the crops directly to water
(e.g. sprayers) especially close to harvest time.
• Irrigation of crops that have physical characteristics such as leaves and rough surfaces
which can trap water.
Page 20
• Irrigation of crops that will receive little or no post-harvest wash treatments prior to
packing, such as field-packed produce.
 Water for fertilizers, pest control and other agricultural chemicals
Water used for the application of water-soluble fertilizers and agricultural chemicals in the
field and indoors should not contain microbial contaminants at levels that may adversely
affect the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Special attention to the water quality should
be considered when using fertilizer and agricultural chemical delivery techniques (e.g.
sprayers) that expose the edible portion of fresh fruits and vegetables directly to water
especially close to harvest time.
 Hydroponic water
Plants grown in hydroponic systems absorb nutrients and water at varying rates, constantly
changing the composition of the re-circulated nutrient solution.
Because of this:
• Water used in hydroponic culture should be changed frequently, or if recycled, should be
treated to minimize microbial and chemical contamination.
• Water delivery systems should be maintained and cleaned, as appropriate, to prevent
microbial contamination of water. Therefore, the owner has deep rooted experience in this
area.
2.2.2.2 Manure, bios lids and other natural fertilizers

The use of manure, biosolids and other natural fertilizers in the production of crops should be
managed to limit the potential for microbial, chemical and physical contamination. Manure,
biosolids and other natural fertilizers contaminated with heavy metals or other chemicals at
levels that may affect the safety of crops should not be used. Where necessary, in order to
minimize microbial contamination the following practices should be considered:
2.2.2.4. Bio diversity

As a general rule, diverse ecosystems in nature have a higher degree of stability than those
with only a few species. The same is essentially true for agro ecosystems. Farms with a
diverse mix of crops have a better chance of supporting beneficial organisms that assist in
Page 21
pollination and pest management. Diversity above ground also suggests diversity in the soil,
providing better nutrient cycling, disease suppression, tilt, and nitrogen fixation. Good
organic farmers mimic the biodiversity of nature through practices like intercropping,
Companion planting, establishment of beneficial habitats, and crop rotation (sometimes
referred to as companion planting across time).
The effort to increase biodiversity works hand-in-hand with enterprise diversity, which is
often (but not necessarily) an objective on organic farms.
2.2.2.5. Natural Plant Nutrition

Even though we require the same basic “stuff” to live, it is somewhat challenging to draw
simple comparisons between the nutritional needs and processes of plants and those of
animals. Plants are able to photosynthesize to make sugars, which are ultimately synthesized
into proteins and other plant constituents. Humans and other animals, by contrast, can obtain
energy foods, proteins, and vitamins only by consuming plants or other animals. Both plants
and animals also require minerals.
Humans and other animals extract minerals, along with sugars and proteins, from the food
they eat. Plants, too, obtain minerals — and a wide range of vitamins, antibiotics, and other
useful compounds— through digestion. However, plant digestive systems are not internalized
as they are in animals. Plants must rely on the external digestive processes of the soil system
within reach of their roots — a zone called the rhizosphere.
2.2.2.6. Natural Pest Management
Whether conventional or organic, all farmers are concerned with pests. They spend a lot of
time and resources controlling them. However, in the organic “world view,” pests — whether
weeds, insects or diseases — are not simply scourges. They are indicators of how far a
production system has strayed from the natural ecosystems it should imitate. Certain weeds,
for example, tend to predominate when soils are too acidic or too basic; some become a
problem when soil structure is poor and conditions become anaerobic; others may be
Page 22
stimulated by excessive fertilizer or manure salts. Organic proponents also believe that insect
pests are attracted to inferior or weak plants — the result of poor crop nutrition. Their logic
continues by asserting that pests are naturally repelled by vigorous, well-nourished plants.
This belief is often challenged, and significant research remains to be done. As scientific
understanding has grown, insect pest outbreaks are also being understood as imbalances in
the whole agro ecosystem and how it is managed. In nature, massive pest outbreaks are
relatively rare and short-lived, due to the presence of natural predators, parasites, and disease
agents that quickly knock the pest numbers back down to a moderate level. In farming
2.2.2. 7. Manuring and Composting

Livestock manures are the most traditional and widely recognized organic fertilizers. Under
ideal circumstances, livestock enterprises are integrated into the whole farm operation, and
manuring becomes part of a closed system of nutrient recycling. This is still strongly
encouraged in organic operations. In reality, however, crops and livestock production are
often divorced from each other, and manures must be imported. This has created some
concerns in the organic community, since much manure is now generated by large, industrial
agriculture feeding operations called CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations). Not
only are there concerns about contaminants (heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, hormones)
but many in the organic community also object to any “partnering” with this segment of
conventional agriculture, which is considered at odds with the environmental and social
values represented by organic farming. Nonetheless, the National Organic Program does not
differentiate between CAFO and other livestock manure sources. However, the NOP
regulations do require that livestock manure not contain any synthetic substances not
included on the National List of synthetic substances allowed for use in organic crop
production.
2.2.2.8. Biological Pest Control

Organic farming relies heavily on populations of beneficial insect predators and parasites,
pest disease agents, insect-eating birds and bats, and other creatures, to help manage pest
Page 23
problems. These biological controls help keep pest numbers at levels where further cultural
activities or relatively mild pesticides are (usually) adequate to assure a crop. In some
instances, biological control can be so effective that no additional action is even needed by
the farmer. Some see biological control as a default benefit of the soil fertility practices of
organic farming. The diversity of crops in a soil-building rotation, the use of cover crops, and
other practices build a diverse soil biology that works to keep soil pests in check. They also
provide substantial aboveground habitat for beneficials.
2.2.2.9. Sanitation
Sanitation can take on many forms:
• Removal, burning, or deep plowing of crop residues that could carry plant disease or insect
pest agents
• Destruction of nearby weedy habitats that shelter pests
• cleaning accumulated weed seeds from farm equipment before entering a new, “clean” field
• sterilizing pruning tools
As in human and animal health, sanitation practices can go a long way in preventing crop
pest problems. However, many practices— such as clean cultivation, deep plowing, and
burning crop residues — can increase erosion and reduce biodiversity. Thus, they may
conflict with sustainability. Good organic growers recognize this and treat those practices as
transitional or rescue options, rather than relying on them on an annual basis.
2.2.2.10. Tillage and Cultivation

Tillage and cultivation are tools that can accomplish a variety of objectives in farming
systems: weed control, crop residue management, soil aeration, conservation of manures and
other fertilizers, hardpan reduction, sanitation to destroy pest and disease habitat, etc. While
conventional farmers rely on chemicals to accomplish many of these objectives, organic
growers focus more on improving tillage and maximizing its benefits. Guidelines for primary
tillage, for example, are intent on conserving crop residues and added manures in the upper,
Page 24
biologically active zones of the soil, rather than burying them deeply where decomposition is
anaerobic (oxygen-starved). Leaving soils completely bare and vulnerable to erosion is
discouraged; fall moldboard plowing is certainly frowned upon. Cultivation in organic
systems often rises to the level of art. Row-crop farmers frequently use blind cultivation —
shallow tillage, which largely ignores the crop rows—beginning shortly after seeding until
the plants are but a few inches high. Rotary hoes, wire-tooth harrows, and similar equipment
can be used for blind cultivation, delaying the first flush of weeds and giving the crop a head
start.
2.2.2.11. Conservation Tillage and Organic Farming

Organic agriculture is often characterized as addicted to maximum tillage — with growers
using every opportunity to lay the land bare with shovel, plow, or rototiller. This image has
been magnified through the popularity of small-scale organic systems like the French
Intensive and Biointensive Mini Farming models that espouse double- and triple-digging to
create deep rooting beds. While appropriate to such intensive systems, this degree of
cultivation is not characteristic of organic agriculture in general. It may surprise some to
learn that a large number of organic producers are not only interested in conservation tillage,
they have adopted it. This will be a surprise because many believe that conservation tillage
always requires herbicides. Mulching is a practice often used by organic growers.
Traditionally, it entails the spreading of large amounts of organic materials — straw, old hay,
wood chips, etc. — over otherwise bare soil between and among crop plants. Organic
mulches regulate soil moisture and temperature, suppress weeds, and provide organic matter
to the soil.
2.2.2.12. Supplemental Fertilization

In many organic systems, crop rotation, manuring, green manuring, along with enhanced
biological activity in the soil, provide an abundant supply of plant-essential minerals
annually. This is especially true on naturally deep and rich prairie soils. It is less true on
Page 25
poorer soils and on those that have been heavily exploited through non-sustainable farming
practices.
To correct mineral deficiencies in organically managed soils, organic growers often apply
ground or powdered rock minerals. The most commonly used rock mineral is high calcium
aglime. Dolomitic limestone, various rock phosphates, gypsum, sulfate of potash-magnesia,
and mined potassium sulfate are also common. These are all significant sources of primary
(P, K) and/or secondary (Ca, Mg, S) plant nutrients. The savvy organic grower applies
significant amounts of these materials only with the guidance of regular soil testing. Less
common are other rock powders and fines that are limited sources for the major nutrients but
are rich in micronutrients or have some other soil improving characteristic.

Since the production of crops is divided in phases, the estimated and the production yield per
year will be 2 time a year since it is through irrigation. Labor cost, selected seeds, chemical
fertilizers and pesticides and any other costs related to the irrigation scheme of the company.
Page 32
However the land under consideration is very fertile and as such does not consume excessive
chemical fertilizers. Moreover, the company itself will produces its own selected seeds and
thus reduce the cost of selected seeds used in the production. Therefore, the unit cost of
production is as follows.
No Description Hectare Unit cost/ Total cost

Moreover, all the crops are not equally consuming the inputs. Therefore the company will
work on reducing costs by designing tightened cost reduction strategies. Additionally the
crop does not consume excessive fertilizer and thus it only need different pesticides at the
time of blooming. Again, the owners will implement the project after three months of taking
the land, and he will do the project phase by phase so as to use the working capital from the
project.

4.7. Summary
As clearly the income statement shows, the promoter of the project will return her initial
investment costs within the first three month of operation because she will export to different
Middle East country. In general, the financial statement of the project shows that this project
under discussion will cover its entire investment costs with in short period of time. Hence
the promoter of the project has along term plan of engaging in other agro processing business
enterprises. Additionally, in the coming future the project owner has a plan to engage in other
businesses in near future.

Environmental Impact of the Project

This project deemed to be environmentally benign as it doesn’t use chemicals that will
exacerbate the problem of the eco system pollution. As clearly indicated in the project, the
prime manufacturing of the project is organic crops, thus there is no chemical fertilization
utilization except some pesticides which has very minimal impact on the environment. Thus,
it has no impact on the environment.
Future Development& Exit Strategies
