productivity in different when compared with the global output level. (FAO, 2014).
Thus, mechanization shall contribute in enabling the small holder farmers to timely prepare
land, sowing and harvest their crops as early as possible to cope up with the erratic rainfall
condition and to save time and labor.
This Ayalew __________ agricultural Mechanization project feasibility study Business plan
pictures the viability of mechanized agricultural production implemented by owner and rental
Combiner harvester service. The rental machineries services proposed to provide hire
machine for smallholder farmers.

1. Introduction
1.3. Background
Agriculture which our region as well as our country predominantly depend it, is the largest sector
and the back bone of economy. The Oromia region has also great potential to Agriculture
because of its vast area of fertile land, diverse climate, generally adequate rain fall and large
labor pool. Despite Oromia has great potential to agriculture, our agriculture remained
undeveloped. This is due to quite a lot of factors. The largest shares were low level of
mechanization inputs and low level of technologies. Moreover, the greatest source of farm power
was mainly human and animal since dated back 2000 BC (FAO, 2007). Introducing agricultural
mechanization in the region is crucial to transform the existing agriculture which had been driven
by traditional farming systems that characterized by low productivity.
4
Role of Agricultural mechanization:-
Majority of the Ethiopian population is exiting in the Oromia region. In existing situation, the
region is characterized by high growth rate of population, low productivity of food crops due to
low modernization of agriculture. Hence, mechanization is must to produce more and feed
upcoming population.
In this case “Ayalewu ________ Agricultural mechanized project” plays a vital role in
improving the farming system by:-
Traditional farming consumes high human and animal power. In case of mechanization small
labors can do much job and decreases cost of production. This means increase in labor
productivity by releasing of labor for other sectors of the economy.
Mechanization is a complementary input. This is to mean producing more from the existing land.
Mechanization technology increases productivity by enabling farming community to produce a
good quality of work, increase production of crops output by improving soil water infiltration
and air movement in the soil, timeliness of operation, good cropping intensity and faster
turnaround, reduction of crop losses, & increase in the cultivated area.
Farming community had been working in hard, and harsh, condition. They produce crop that
produced by such a condition to fed themselves and supply to urban population. Mechanization
modernizes existing farming, makes the life of rural community pleasant and attractive.

2. Increase incomes by providing Combiner harvester on rental basis.
3.1. Location
Ejersa lafo District is located in, west shewa zone, Oromia regional state. Ejersa Lafo woreda is one
of the twenty two woredas of the west shewa zone. The woreda‟s capital, Olonkomi is located sixty
six kilometers west of Addis Ababa on the Addis Ababa–Naqamite road. It is situated between two
towns: Olankomi and Geba Dilbeta. The woreda has a total area of 28613.6hectars with altitudinal
range from 2000–3288 m.a.s.l and also the population of the woreda is 95,021 (Ejersa Lefo woreda
Report, 2016). Hence, the location of the woreda contributes for the rising of the price of crops for
the farmers who are living in the district. So, this location of woreda is motivating the productivity of
farmers in the area and they have obtained urban processed goods and their agricultural production
sold to urban dwellers. As a result, the relationships between rural and urban areas are intertwined.
As well as, this elevation of the study area is mostly suitable for the production of teff, wheat, barley,
chickpea and grass pea. It implies that, these different sources of crops are the major sources of
income for the households in the woreda.
The woreda is bordered in the south by Ellu and Dawo woreda of south west shewa zone which has a
length of 35kms separated by Dalacho river, in east by Ejere woreda which has a length of 15 kms
separated by Huluko , in the west by Dendi woreda with 15kms, in the north by 35 kms Jeldu
woreda. The woreda has good agro- ecological zones that made unique, among twenty two woreda of
west shewa zone. Among the agro- ecological zones, dega comprises 29 percent and woina-dega 71
percent. It indicates that this favorable climatic condition and land features of the woreda are
comfortable for the diversity of agricultural production and so this woreda is a notable area by its
surplus agricultural production among twenty two woredas. Therefore, these better conditions can be
a reason why the living condition of households are enhanced in the woreda .
The woreda has 17 rural and 3 urban kebeles . The Woreda has 11 Private clinics, 13 health posts,
2 Health center and 3 private rural drug venders in the Woreda. There are 16 first cycle primary
schools (1-4), 11 second cycle primary schools (5-8) , 1 high school (9-10) and 3 private school
and 3 kindergarten in the Woreda.

3.2 Topography
Ejersa Lafo woreda is characterized by nearly flat topography. Among land features: 45%
plateaus, 43% rugged and 12% mountain are located within this woreda. The altitude above
2000m is accounts for 40 percents of the total woreda. It assumed that the present land form or
relief structure of the Ejersa Lafo woreda is mountains, hills, plains and other natural phenomena
are the result of geological and climatic events. On the other hand among the presented land
forms, the district has a plain land which is more suitable for mixed farming activities than high
lands. It indicates that, these favorable land forms and climatic condition are the most important
factors that affect the living condition of households in the project area positively.
3.3 Soil
According to an assessment made on the basic of village records: 28 percent is red soil and 60
percent is black soil. The remaining is covered by yellow soil accounts for 6 percent and brown
soil for 6 percents. It means that the combination of black clay soil and alluvial soil has adequate
nutrients which are the most important factors in agricultural production for better crop
production. Due to its clay characteristics of soil; it is sticky and crack during summer and winter
respectively. So, it is difficult to use for farming purposes. But the portion of the alluvial soil is
very important for agricultural production in the District. Due to the fertility of this soil, the
largest numbers of households are residing on it. As a result, fragmentation of the farm land is
occurred.
3.4 Description
Tractor is a self-propelled power unit that used for pulling or pushing agricultural machiner or
trailers, for plowing, tilling, harrowing, planting and similar tasks. This save manpower and
material resources and greatly reduced the burden on farmers. The main service are produce
agricultural production by using mechanized agricultural and provided land tiller tractor through
rental bases for small holder farmers.
The tractor operates with respective accessories known as disk plough and the disk harrow .The
disk plough performs the soil tillage/ Digging of deep into the top soil while the disk harrow will
cut and digest the soil practices in to smaller units and make ready for sowing. Mission

5 Market Analysis of Agricultural Machinery.
In the Nono woreda there is no enough a farm mechanization business-giving tractor hires for
the farmers in the area. But interested farmers get tractor service from neighboring woredas and
zones. Dou to that the land tiller tractor renting tractor is a profitable way of income generation
beside the income from agricultural production.
5.2 Current demand and supply for Tractor hiring service
Now a days, traditional oxen based cultivation method is giving away to mechanized
farming in some part of rural areas of Oromia where rental tractor service is located. In our
case, farmers in the area cultivate and produce their agricultural production based on
traditional farming system.
Based on this, project owner and number of the smallholder farmers that needs tractor service
for quality land preparation.
5.2.1 M a r k e t s i z e & Ta r g e t C u s t o m e r s
The market size of this rental tractor mechanization is related with the small holders farmers
in Nono Woreda who uses rental tractor services and the adjacent woredas.
To reach customers different marketing ways will be used. Among the different marketing
strategies and tools for promotion using the different formal and informal social association and
Participating on farmers field days in order to introduce tractor rental service are important.
The importance of the tractor machinery is that it saves labor and time, it cultivates the soil better
than the traditional “Maresha”, the machine can operate for more than 16 hours as compared to
oxen which cannot go beyond 6 hours. Thus, by implementation of this project a significant
increase of yield by more than 4 folds could be realized by customers. This will increase
customer satisfaction and have advantage in efficient use of resources and improved food self –
sufficiency goals of farmers.

Installation cost
It is very easy to install and It will not take much time and labor. It just need connecting of the
tractor to the above discus and adjusts the machine, and then it can start functioning. Thus, no
cost is required as the driver can perform.
At its full capacity operation, the machine operates 16 working hours per day, in 2 shifts, 6
working days per week, 26 working days per month and 300 working days per year. The
machine shall operate at a capacity of 50%, 66.67%,83.34 %,90% and 100% during the first,
second and third years, respectively. This will be resulted from sufficient promotion works.
The raw materials for tractor machine and mounted equipment are fuel and lubricants, grease,
change of fuel filter, change of different used oils and replacing by new.
Fuel and lubricants are daily consumed as the tractor does a job or travelled. A tractor utilizes 20
liters of fuel oil to plough 1 hectors. Assuming 20 birr per litter, the fuel cost will be 400 birr per
hector. Oil & lubrication is assumed to be 10% of the fuel cost which is 40 birr per hector. Thus,
the total fuel and lubrication cost per hector will be 440 birr.
11
Change of fuel filter, greasing and overall service is assumed at 25,600 birr per annum per
tractor. Thus, the annual cost of fuel, lubrication, service and other related costs are summarized
in the table blow.
