1. INTRODUCTION

Due to increasing level of standard of living more Ethiopian are increasing the number of cars on
the road, the need for constant power supply to aid uninterrupted production of goods and
services and also for domestic use more Ethiopians are increasing the demand for fuel in order to
enjoy the usage of their generating sets and industrial plants.
In the growing of service expanding in urban areas the nation since dynamic economic
development of urban economy requires the construction of these Fuel station Plays a vital role
in towns to support the growing of business service sectors, the growth of the economy, the Fuel
station in the one becoming rapidly A fuel Station or Petrol station is a facility which sells fuel
and lubricants for automotive and industries. In addition to fuel and lubricants sales, the Modern
fuel service station provides different service like, sell gasoline, fuel, motor oils, lubricants, and
confectionery & Tier repair, Car Wash, and super markets and offices service. This indicates that
the investment in the fuel station plays a significant role in the regard, mixed economic
development of the country.
A gas station which also called a petrol station, filling Station, fueling station, or service Station
is a business facility which retails gas oil (petrol), diesel and lubricants for motor vehicles. Gas
stations offer one of three types of service to their customers: fall service, minimum service or
self-service. perhaps a small tip and a minimum service gas station has attendants that operates
the pumps This is often required due to Laws in some cities that prohibit customers from
operating the pumps themselves Although the gas station industry can be said to be a competitive
industry. But it does not in any way stop entrepreneurs who are creative and financially capable
to still make headway in the industry. It is indeed a profitable industry especially when the
business is well located. No doubt busy highways and busy cilices with growing population is
highly suitable for gas stations. The catch 1s that it there are automobile users in any city, then
the city would have need for a gas station
Ethiopia has experienced a lot of growth over the past decade and a half both economically and
in demography. This pushes for more petrol stations around the country; especially around the
Selambere town the demand supply gap is high. This growth has consequently increased the
number of investors and visitors. And the people of the Dana town need a petrol station to stay
close their business. This project aims at providing this target market requisite petrol station with
full facilities and Motel building service for the area. Our mission is to successfully build,
5 Hilyesuse Dechasa | FUEL STATION
PROJECT PROPOSAL ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FUEL STATION IN SELAME BERE
TOWN ADMINSTRATION

promote and provide quality fuel station. We plan to create an environment of convenience that
surpasses the standard level for other petrol station in area. The client of this petrol station
development will have every need met to ensure a total and comprehensive comfort.
Petroleum products are among the most valuable natural resources abundantly available in our
country while the country is not making it functional still. Ethiopia and people everywhere use
petroleum products as a fuel in their automobiles, generating sets industrial plants and for
cooking purposes in most of the area of the country, thus making petroleum products an essential
commodity that is needed for the daily operations of individual, industrial and national activities.
Ethiopia being non-oil producing nation, however still relies on imported petroleum products for
the servicing of the economy. Such petroleum utilized by almost everybody on daily basis at an
average of 10 liters daily usage.
The Ethiopian economy has been registering extraordinary, double digit, and economic growth
for the last nine years. When there is fast economic growth in one nation the income of the
citizen also increases this phenomenon changes the life style and modernization of the citizen.
In order to keep the economic growth long lasting there should be parallel growth and linkage in
all sectors of the economy such as manufacturing and service (tertiary) sector. The development of
hotel as one part of service sector has a great contribution to the economy in different ways.
However, the implementation of the fuel station project is concentrates in main woreda of the
nation. Hence, further investments in these areas are very vital for better service provision for the
citizens through that it supports the economic development.
The government of Ethiopia has developed that good investment policy packages and other
sectorial reforms at federal and regional level to attract a huge private investment for the wellbeing
of the nation and its citizens as a whole. Besides, it is also currently implementing the five years’
growth and transformation plan (2010/11-2014/15) that gave a space for the development
industrialization and tertiary sector by private sector.
Like the federal government investment policy packages and incentives, the South Ethiopia regional
state government has been exerting its maximum effort to expand investment opportunities in the
region, so as to foster the economic development of the region and subduing the region’s big enemy
that is the trap of poverty. Therefore, the regional government has been prepared a viable business
environment to attract many domestic and foreign investors so that the dream of making poverty
history turns to be true.
Therefore, the visible market gap, attractive investment policies and deep interest to contribute for the

market study of this project concentrates on the Selambere town and surrounding rural villages in general

and the kebele in specific scenario.

3.2. Future Market Demand


Proposed fuel station will be located on the main road that passes to Gofa and Wolita zone. This is an
extremely busy highway with thousands of vehicles using the highway on a daily basis. The nearest gas
station is about seven km and proposed gas station knows it’s located in a strategic location to offer key
services to vehicle owners. In addition, the business intends to sell automotive products such as oil and
different types of lubricants which are essential products to car owners. Given the scarcity of gas stations in
the area, the proposed gas station intends to capitalize on the untapped market by setting up a fully equipped
and professionally managed gas station. Motorists are the key customer target included in this gas station
business plan.
Petroleum is one of the most traded items in the world. Petroleum is a necessity product and the nature of its
demand is inelastic. Unlike other businesses whose demand is impacted by price and other economic
variables, the consumption of petroleum products in Ethiopia continues to increase even in the face of any
economic slowdowns.

TOWN ADMINSTRATION

Annual revenue of the firm depends on the yearly sales amount. It is considered by yearly working
days’ capacity. The firm is expected to deliver service for 24 hours a day and all 30 days per month
and 365 days per annum. Therefore, the firm is planned to sell diesel gas of 8,500 litters, 8,500 litter of
regular petrol and 4,000 litter of kerosene per month.
It is expected that the selling prices of the fuel adjusted as per national government order. However,
currently average selling one litter diesel is birr 80 per litter. For those prices of regular petrol and
kerosene is birr 80 per litter. Therefore, to calculate annual revue collected of the fuel station this price
per litter is taken in to account. Therefore, at the initial year the total revenue collected from sales of
different kinds of gases and oils will be birr 21,552,000.00 -increases in 10% at the remaining year.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROJECT

It should always be remembered that petrol filling stations once put into operation need to be closely
managed. This will ensure that the environment is always safeguarded. It is therefore important that the site
conduct regular site assessments to provide early indication of leaks or releases of product into the ground and
available risks. If there is considered to be a very high risk, a redevelopment should be considered. Other
methods to be considered, which will point to early indications of leaks are: There should be accurate records
of stocks and sales; modern stock control systems; associated with tank gauging systems, to provide an early
warning when stock losses are outside acceptable parameters; the project’s systems should be tested on a
regular basis as they get older, to attest they are sound; testing of both the tanks and lines should be by
precision tightness methods and; monitoring wells should be installed around the site to give an early
indication of a product release. Considering the proposed location, construction, management and mitigation
measures that will be put in place and the project’s contribution in the provision of petroleum products and
creating employment opportunities, its implementation is considered important and beneficial. The key effort
should be geared towards safeguarding the environment. This can be effectively overcome through close
following and implementation of the recommended Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
Currently the issue of environment and envelopment get due emphasis and thus every citizen called exert their
maximum effort for fighting against any negative impacts on the environment so as to result in a win-win
solution on common agenda that is creating environmentally friendly business environment. Therefore, this
fuel station project does not cause a negative impact on the environment.
Consistent with the government’s high priority of encouraging private investment in the agriculture sector,
these integrated projects aim at agricultural production with due care to reduce degradation and improve
productivity of natural resources. Given the fact that these projects intend to utilize the rain fed cultivation,
certainly these reliefs the existing degradation pressure on rural farm land imposed by the traditional farming

29 Hilyesuse Dechasa | FUEL STATION


PROJECT PROPOSAL ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FUEL STATION IN SELAME BERE
TOWN ADMINSTRATION

system.
More importantly, the projects aim at reversing the environmental degradation trends widely observable in the
area by breaking the nexus between poverty and degradations. In essence, the projects aim at solving the key
problem area by breaking the nexus between rural poverty, natural resource management and climate change
mainly by creating alternative and more lucrative income source for the local resource poor smallholder
farmers, who, otherwise should depend on the natural resource bases and hence causes the degradations. The
project promoters believe:
 environment and natural resource degradation are often a direct cause of rural poverty;
 rural poverty often exacerbates environment and natural resource degradation; and
 Climate change increases the vulnerability of rural people and the ecosystems they depend on for
their livelihoods.
Thus, opening alternative source of income by creating job opportunities within the project can relieve the
current pressure on the rural land in the project area.
Reporting, Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation will be an integral part of the process implementation periodic monitoring will be
conducted by the project. Periodic monitoring focuses on follow up of the day to day activities of each activities
project evaluation on the other hand focuses on the impacts based on its achieving will be processed on
participatory with its stokeholds.
a. Monitoring
Monitoring activities includes measuring the physical performance and quantity of the work done, con-elation of
the work done with set plan and time table.
b. Evaluation
Evaluation will be conducted three times during the project life year, at the beginning of project life, in the middle
and at the end of project life years.
The evaluation based on the overall goal and purpose. The scope of the evaluation will be:
 The extent to which purposes the project have been fulfilled.
 The expected profits will be maximized.
 Impact contributed to socio-economic development of country.

Conclusion and Recommendation


Overall, the projects have the following merits which would justify the need for giving priority in its finance:

 The strategic objectives of the projects are highly consistent with the national development
30 Hilyesuse Dechasa | FUEL STATION
PROJECT PROPOSAL ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FUEL STATION IN SELAME BERE
TOWN ADMINSTRATION

objective which calls to “sustainably increase rural incomes and national food security, which
embodies the concepts of producing more, selling more, nurturing the environment, eliminating
hunger and protecting the vulnerable against shocks.
 These projects are expected to create job opportunities for these potential migrants at their nearby
village and hence alleviate the pushing factor for migrations.
 The projects aim at utilizing locally available technologies so as to encourage the backward and
forward linkage of the project and hence contribute towards the realization of Agricultural
Development Led Industrialization (ADLI) strategy of the country.
 Finally, the projects will largely contribute towards the national economic development by
contributing to National GDP. GDP contribution originating from the agriculture sector has more
power of poverty reduction than other sectors (a one percent GDP growth rate originating in
agriculture sector has more potential for poverty reduction than two percent GDP growth rate
originating from the service sector).
Recommendation: - considering the viability of the project, as aforementioned, the project is
recommended for implementation.
