EXECTUTVE SUMMARY
This is a feasibility study for DIGITI Bakery business project which is planned to be
established in JIMMA city administration. The main activity of the project is to establish a
commercial bakery business project in the J I M M A town and supplying different bakery
products mainly bread for the potential customers residing in the town.
In Ethiopia next to Enjera bread is a daily consumed favorite food of the society specially the pattern
of consumption in urban was high followed by rural society. It was the basic food item that
everybodyconsumes every day. In order to fulfill this demand many small bakery are doing
business. However, most of the bakery production in the country is traditional beyond it lack the
capacity to satisfy the demand for bakery its known by waste of products as well as lacks quality,
because it uses wood to flash the bread the mixing the flour was done manpower.Overall it doesn’t
flow the scientific way so a significant concern was given to replace the old system to the society
basic need.
The major objectives ofthis project will to overcoming supplying problem of bakery products by
using technology and up to date knowledge of bakery system and providing quality bakery.
The other rationality to invest in this project is its ideal geographical area of the
project; Manpower requirement is abundantly available in the area, the raw material
is very suitable to bakery production, accessibility of utilities like telephone and
water, proximity to the market. It is planned to be established over 532 sq. meter of
land in the Jimma town owned by Ahmed Nuredin who is the owner and manager of
the project.
The total investment cost of the project is estimated to be Birr 5,000,000. The
source of fund is from owner’s equity.
3|Page
The total project investment cost includes all the fixed investment and the working capital
cost of the project will be 5,000,000.The project fixed asset is estimated to be
birr3,150,000 and the working capital is Br.1,850,000.00
There are three financial statements which indicate the profitability, liquidity and net
worth of a given project .These are the income statement, the cash flow projection, and the
balance sheet. The projected profit and/or loss statement indicates that the project is going
to be a profitable venture through its life. The project’s net profit at first year and at the end
of the project year is Birr.745,885at the first and Birr904,085. This shows that the business
is highly income generating and profitable venture.
The projected cash flow indicates the liquidity position of the project over its estimated
lifespan.Hence,the project under caption expected to generate net cash flow
Birr1,158,385at the first year andBr.1,316,585attenthyear of the project operation.
The project has alsomany benefits for the development of the country by
creating employment opportunity, generating tax for government, transfer
advanced knowledge to the local people and contribution in food security. The
project is found to be viable with all aspects of viability indicators. It is financially
profitable, economically and socially desirable there fore, it is wise decision for
financial institution to finance its cost partially.
Bakery is a traditional activity and occupies an important place in food processing industry.
Despite the advent of fully automatic and semi-automatic bread as well as biscuit making plants,
4|Page
a sizeable number of people still prefer fresh bread and other products from bakery. With
growing population and preference for fresh and ready-to-eat convenient food items, demand for
bakery products is steadily increasing. There are many bakery products like bread and its
different variants, biscuits, cakes &pastries, cookies, puffs etc. having ready market round the
year.Each product enjoys a very wide range in terms of size or weight, flavors, end-use and so
on. There is a tremendous scope to introduce new varieties every year. However, this note deals
only with bread and biscuits. This project can be started anywhere in the country and there is no
preferred location as such. A bakery can be set up in urban as well as rural areas. Depending
upon its location, a suitable product mix can be worked out. This profile primarily considers
semi-urban location from where nearby rural centers can also be catered to. In view of this
consideration, thesuggested products are bread. These products are very well accepted in the
market and have gained consumer acceptance.
The role small-scale industries play in the process of industrial development has attracted a large
number of studies for the past three decades. No wonder this is the case in view of the fact that
the importance of small-scale industries in less developed countries (LDCs) is gaining
momentum at the present time.
The reasons are obvious. Since, for LDCs, industrial development is considered to be a means
for economic development, substantial effort has gone to promote industrialization. There is no
country that has not given priority to industrial development in its development plans. In terms of
success story, however, few have done well in achieving the desired goal of industrialization.
For the large majority of LDCs, industrialization has remained a far cry. Industrial development
pursued along the path of large-scale industries has not been able to generate the expected
economic impact and sustained development. In fact, it is not uncommon to see idle
capacities due to both supply side constraints and lack of absorptive markets. In view of the huge
amount of resources and long gestation period required by large-scale industrial projects, such
low performance has an unbearable cost to the economy.

MARKET STUDY
3.1 Introduction
Promoting healthy diets and lifestyles to reduce the global burden of non-communicable diseases
requires a multisectoral approach involving the various relevant sectors in societies. The
agriculture and food sector figures prominently in this enterprise and must be given due
importance in any consideration of the promotion of healthy diets for individuals and population
groups. Food strategies must not merely be directed at ensuring food security for all, but must
also achieve the consumption ofadequate quantities of safe and good quality foods that together
make upa healthy diet. Any recommendation to that effect will have implications for all
components in the food chain. It is therefore useful at this junctureto examine trends in
consumption patterns worldwide and deliberate onthe potential of the food and agriculture sector
to meet the demands andchallenges posed by this report. Economic development is normally
accompanied by improvements in acountry’s food supply and the gradual elimination of dietary
deficiencies, thus improving the overall nutritional status of the country’s population.
Furthermore, it also brings about qualitative changes in the production, processing, distribution
and marketing of food. Increasing urbanizationwill also have consequences for the dietary
patterns and lifestyles of individuals, not all of which are positive. Changes in diets, patterns of
work and leisure --- often referred to as the ‘‘nutrition transition’’ --- are already contributing to
the causal factors underlying non communicable diseases even in the poorest countries.
Moreover, the pace of these changes seems to be accelerating, especially in the low-income and
middle-income countries.
The dietary changes that characterize the ‘‘nutrition transition’’ include both quantitative and
qualitative changes in the diet. The adverse dietary changes include shifts in the structure of the
diet towards a higher energy density diet with a greater role for fat and added sugars in foods,
greater saturated fat intake (mostly from animal sources), reduced intakes of complex
10 | P a g e
carbohydrates and dietary fiber, and reduced fruit and vegetable intakes (1). These dietary
changes are compounded by lifestyle changes that reflect reduced physical activity at work and
during leisure time (2). Atthe same time, however, poor countries continue to face food shortages
and nutrient inadequacies.
Diets evolve over time, being influenced by many factors and complex interactions. Income,
prices, individual preferences and beliefs, cultural traditions, as well as geographical,
environmental, social and economicfactors all interact in a complex manner to shape dietary
consumptionpatterns. Data on the national availability of the main food commodities provide a
valuable insight into diets and their evolution over time. FAO produces annual Food Balance
Sheets which provide national data on food availability (for almost all commodities and for
nearly all countries). Food Balance Sheets give a complete picture of supply (including
production, imports, stock changes and exports) andutilization (including final demand in the
form of food use and industrial non-food use, intermediate demand such as animal feed and seed
use, and waste) by commodity. From these data, the average per capita supply of macronutrients
(i.e. energy, protein, fats) can be derived for all food commodities. Although such average per
capita supplies are derived from national data, they may not correspond to actual per capita
availability, which is determined by many other factors such as inequality in access to food.
Likewise, these data refer to ‘‘average food available for bconsumption’’, which, for a number of
reasons (for example, waste at thehousehold level), is not equal to average food intake or average
food consumption. In the remainder of this chapter,therefore, the terms ‘‘food consumption’’ or
‘‘food intake’’ should be read as ‘‘food available for consumption’’.
Demand analysis
Wheat and barley were two of the earliest plants to be cultivated, and primitive people living as
early as 5000 B.C. are known to have eaten these grains. Eventually it was discovered that
adding water to the grain made it more palatable, and people experimented with cooking the
grain and water mixture on stones that had been heated in a fire. In this manner, porridge and flat
breads were developed.
The ancient Egyptians were known to grow barley and wheat. Excavations of their cities
revealed that they enjoyed flat breads with nearly every meal. It is likely that leavened, or raised,
11 | P a g e
bread was discovered accidentally when a wheat and water mixture was left in a warm place,
causing the naturally occurring yeast to produce puffed-up dough. It is also possible that a piece
of leftover dough was mixed into a new batch, producing the same results
The present study is an investigation of the demand for bread and the arrangements for its
distribution in tropical Africa's largest country. Beyond its immediate interest as an analysis of
bread consumption for some 40 million Africans, the study gives an indication of the nature and
strength of forces shaping consumer demand for the larger group of temperate foodstuffs which
are exotic to the tropics. Moreover, among new food products bread has made perhaps the
greatest inroads into the markets for indigenous staples in developing tropical economies despite
its typically higher relative costs: thismonograph helps to identify factors responsible for this
universal popularity.
And finally, owing to its perish ability, the bread case is relevant to the introduction of new
consumer industries where local supply, rather than the gradual buildup of imports, creates the
market; elements in this product innovation include sociological carriers, economic constraints,
and a time sequence.
In Ethiopia next to Enjera bread is a daily consumed favorite food of the society specially the
pattern of consumption in urban was high followed by rural society. It was the basic food item
that every I body consume every day. in order to fulfill this demand many small bakery are doing
business, however most of the bakery production in the country is traditional beyond it lack the
capacity to satisfy the demand for bakery its known by waste of products as well as lacks quality,
because it uses wood to flashes the bread the mixing the flour was done manpower overall it
doesn’t flow the scientific way so a significant concern was given to replace the old system to
the society basic need
The major objectives of this project overcoming supplying problem bakery by using technology
and up to date knowledge of bakery system and providing quality bakery.

THE PAST DEMAND FOR BREAD AND BAKERY PRODUCTS IN TONES
Source: 1. CSA, Report of survey of the Manufacturing & Electricity Industries, annual issues.
According the above statistics In Ethiopia in the year 2005 the existing demand for the bread
was115,968tones this trend until the past year 2015 it was 256,389 tones this was estimated
annual percent of 25
The yearly average level of demand which was 112.6 tons during the years 2005--2009
has increased to 208 tons during the period 2009--2012. Similarly, the yearly average
quantity needed during the period 2013--2015 has increased to 272 tons. A substantial
growth of demand is recorded during the recent two years of 2012--2015, which stood at annual
average of 574 tons. Compared to the previous three years annual average it is higher by more
than two fold. Generally, demandof the product in the past eleven years has shown an annual
average growth of about 25%. By looking to the above trend analysis , the average quantity of
the recent three years i.e. 2009--2011, which is 489 tons, is taken as the effective demand
for the year 2011. By applying a growth rate of 20%, less than the observed trend in the past,
the current (year 2015) demand is estimated at 586 tons.
Supply analysis
Actual food availability may vary by region, socioeconomic level andseason. Certain difficulties
are encountered when estimating trade, production and stock changes on an annual scale. Hence
three-year averages are calculated in order to reduce errors. The FAO statistical database
(FAOSTAT), being based on national data, does not provide information on the distribution of
food within countries, or within communities and households.
13 | P a g e
The total numbers of bakery unitsare not exactly known, however, it has been reported that there
are 5 large-scale units producing either bread or biscuits. Among these, 1unitproduces only bread
while the remaining produces biscuits.
However, there are over 5000 small and medium scale units in factory sectors producing both
bread and biscuits. There are over 1 million units in family scale small units producing various
bakery products like bread, biscuits, cookies and pastries. The number of bakery units is
maximum in (34.2%)
The above table shows the existing demand supply gap that in the year 2014 70495.8 tones this
gap during the year 2015 70495.8 this indicate the double increment in the gap.
Demand projection
Demand for bakery depends on the growth of the targeted consumers and their disposable
incomes. Moreover, new entrants to use the product will also have an effect on the demand for
the product. At present, the product has been used by bakeries and urban dwellers.
14 | P a g e
The past ten years delivery (2014-2016) showed an average annual increase of 25%.
Nevertheless, this figure thought to be very high for future estimation. Therefore, the
annual GDP increase, which is 11%, has been taken in projecting the future demand.
Based on the above assumption, the projected future demand is shown in Table 3.2
The demand for bakery will increase from 615,639 tons in the year 1,513,764tons and 1,693,389
tons by the year 2021 and year 2022, respectively
Value Proposition
15 | P a g e
Our value proposition is that we will bring a unique mode of bakery production to satisfy the
customer.
Marketing Strategy
1. Emphasize our name and unique products and environment through advertising.
2. Focus on the convenience of our location.
3. Build community relationships and corporate relationships through unique and quality
products, a friendly caring atmosphere, and delivering world class service.
Promotion Strategy
Our promotional strategy will be two-fold: first phase promotion will advertising before, during,
and six months following our opening; the second phase advertising will deal with long-term
advertising.
We will continue to place advertise in the local social magazines year around. Mail-outs will be
done again within a 10-mile radius one year after takeoff, then again only every three to five
years. Radio and television advertise will be done only when we have sale promotions during the
most stressful time of the year - the holiday season; television advertise are not certain, we will
evaluate their effectiveness before further implementation.
16 | P a g e
Internet: We will continue to have a comprehensive website. After the first six months, and
certainly after the first year, we will evaluate the viability of having target clients advertise on
our site, and conversely, we will evaluate viability of advertising on our target client website (if
applicable).
Pricing Strategy
Our pricing strategy will be similar to that of our competitors. We will not charge over,
substantially under, standard prices for our products. We will be paying our employees a straight
percentage of their total individual client sales plus a bonus–that's more than our competitors.
This will allow us to hire the best employees, and have a built-in motivational factor that will
keep them empowered to enhance their opportunity.
Sales Strategy
Our umbrella sales strategy is to sell bakery products to the society as a uniquely desirable
destination that will enhance their lives.
We will sell our bakery products through each qualities, courtesy, and fresh bread, creating a
trusting impression on all clients, and establishing loyalty and return visits.
Sales Programs
1. Our comprehensive brochure will explain the nature of our products, and how this
benefits our clients.
2. Our website will be comprehensively informative of our products, environment and their
benefits.
TECHNICAL STUDY
BREAD FORMULATION
Many different types of bread formulations have been developed so far. These formulations are
developed in different regions based on thetraditional food habits of the people. The main bread
types can be classified as under.
17 | P a g e
1. Pan bread: This type of bread is popular in the economically developed countries including
USA, Canada, and United Kingdom and European nations.
2. Hearth bread or sour bread: This category of bread is produced with or without lactic acid
fermentation. Hearth breads are baked in an open hearth. These breads are becoming popular in
France.
3. Flat bread or ratio /chapatti: This category of bread is popular in Asian countries. The
product is unfermented and flat. This baked on a flat hot pan.
4. Rolls and other small fermented breads: These products generally have higher levels of sugar
and fat in the formulation and thus typically have sweeter taste and softer bite characteristics.
The basic recipes for bread making include wheat flour, yeast, salt and water. If any one of these
basic ingredients is missing, the acceptable product cannot be prepared. Other ingredients are
known as optional, for example, fat, sugar, milk and milk product, malt and malt product,
oxidants (such as ascorbic acid and potassium bromate), surfactants and anti-microbial agents.
Each of these ingredients has specific role to play in bread making. The wheat flour is the main
ingredient in bread production. It isprimarily responsible for bread structure and bite
characteristics. Water transforms flour into viscoelastic dough that retains gas produced during
fermentation and water also provides medium of all chemical reaction to occur. Yeast ferment
sugars and produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. It, thus, gives us porous and leavened
bread. Sugar is the source of fermentable carbohydrate for yeast and it also provides sweet taste.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Picture of the major machines
Raw Materials
The major raw material required is flour. Ideally, the unit can enter into a long term
supplyarrangement with an established flour mill to ensure adequate and timely supply.
Otheritems like yeast, sugar, ghee, milk powder, salt, edible color and flavors shall be
availablefrom nearby trading centers. Since their requirement will not be substantial, supplies
can beeasily tied up.
20 | P a g e
perform by using electric power so there is no gas which released air. And also it doesn’t release
heavy noise to the environmental so that no sounds pollution. In order to mitigate the clearance
of fauna some local trees will be planted around the fence.
Employment Creation: the project creates job opportunity for many skilled and
unskilled workers in line to reduce unemployment which hinders the stability of
macro economic variables of the country.
Technology transfer: it enables the local manufactures and community
to share technology in bakery system farm.
GDP Contribution: the supposed project will contribute to the GDP of
the country, increases the income of the workers employed in and the
owners too.
Food security: the project would contribute in increasing the supply of
food which is most important issue for the country now.

Based on the projected profit and loss statement, the project will generate a profit through out its
operation life. Annual net profit after tax will grow from Birr 1,211,920.00 Million to Birr
3,564,525.65 million during the life of the project. Moreover, at the end of the project life the
accumulated net cash flow amounts to Birr 1,704,525.65. For profit and loss statement and cash
flow projection
2. Ratios
In financial analysis financial ratios and efficiency ratios are used as an index or yardstick for
evaluating the financial position of a firm. It is also an indicator for the strength and weakness of
the firm or a project. Using the year-end balance sheet figures and other relevant data, the most
important ratios such as return on sales which is computed by dividing net income by
revenue,return on assets (operating income divided by assets), return on equity (net profit
divided by equity) and return on total investment (net profit plus interest divided by total
investment) has been carried out over the period of the project life and all the results are found to
be satisfactory.
3. Break-even Analysis
The break-even analysis establishes a relationship between operation costs and revenues.
1. Plant Capacity
Based on the outcome of market study and considering the minimum economic scale of
production, the production capacity of the envisaged plant is produces 12,000quintals per annum.
This capacity will be attained by working a single shift of 8 hours per day and 300 working days
per year.
25 | P a g e
1. Production Program
The annual production program is formulated on the basis of the market forecast and selected
plant capacity. It is assumed that the plant will achieve 80% and 90% capacity utilization rate in
the first and second year, respectively. Full capacity will be reached in the third year and
onwards. The production program is shown in Table below.
