Abstract
Farm of Olive Tree is a recognized commercial farm located in the Potohar area of north
eastern Pakistan. The planned project is for Olive Farming on a 50-acre plot of land.
Growing olives on fifty acres and with contemporary farm management methods may be a
profitable venture. Olive cultivation and marketing is a project that entails growing olives
and supply them to the process market and oil processors. Extensive market research was
made to obtain adequate lands on which to establish Olive Tree Farm. Our farm will be a
conventional commercial operation, which means that we will be engaged in commercial
olive cultivation, oil processing, and packaging. As a result, the gear and equipment to be
purchased are also recommended based on the forecasted future production. Olive tree
cultivation is a lucrative enterprise since olive trees survive for more than 250 years and
may thrive on desolate ground. On average, an olive tree produces between 20 and 35
kilograms olive fruits each year, each of which contains more than 20% oil. The olive fruit
may be sold in the market for between 100 to 200 rupees per kilogram, while the olive oil
can be sold for between PRs. 700 and PRs. 3,000 per liter, depending on the type and
quality of the oil. Olive farming on fifty acres with contemporary farm management
methods can be a profitable venture. It is advised that property be bought in the rural
regions specified. We have developed strategies to assist us in establishing a conventional
olive oil processing facility during the first six years of operating Farm of Olive Tree. We
want to process and pack olive oil in such a way that it will flood the market in Pakistan
and around the globe. The planned units would extract oil from olives and sell in the local
market. The units will extract oil from olives by centrifugation. Oil will be available in
three sizes: 0.5, 1.0, and 4.0 liters. The projected initial cost for establishing an Olive
Cultivation farm is 50.93 million rupees. The project is made to be funded using a 50/50
mix of loan and equity. The project's net present value is estimated to be roughly 21.11
million rupees, with a 25% IRR and payback time of 4 years. Because olive trees begin
bearing fruit at the age from 5- 6 years, the first 4 years' expense will be considered pre
operating also included in the capital cost. Each processing plant would have a capacity of
200 kilograms of olive per hour, producing fourth liters of oil under ideal circumstances &
57,600 liters of virgin olive oil per year based on 2 months of working (1,440 hours,
working in three shifts a day). In following decade, a total of 30 facilities will be erected.
The planned Oil Extraction of olive Units need investment of 462,143,227 rupees,
including PKR 459, 957, 8561 in fixed assets and PKR 2,185,372 in working capital. The
project's Net Present Value is 281,801,919 rupees with a 39 percent internal rate of return
and payback time of 6.5 years. The reason for this is because in addition to acquiring the
essential farmland, we have also engaged numerous important personnel who are presently
receiving training to suit the ideal twenty-first century commercial olive farm and
production facility workforce that we are building. The initiative will employ 20 workers
at the head office and three plant operators and three assistance at each processing unit on
a season basis. In addition, two permanent guards will be employed for each processing
site. With past expressions or education in a comparable business sector, an entrepreneur
might anticipate a higher return on investment and continuous expansion of the firm. We
are establishing the olive tree farming business because we want to leverage the vast
opportunities available in the commercial farming industry to contribute our fair share to
the growth of the Pakistan economy, national food production, raw material production for
industries, agricultural exports from Pakistan to other countries, and profitably. Farm of
Olive Trees. Is well-positioned to become one of Pakistan's top olive farms, which is why
we have been able to get the finest personnel and farm equipment to administer the farm.
We have implemented techniques that would enable us to follow best practices in olive tree
growing, as mandated by Pakistan's regulatory organizations. XYZ owns Farm of Olive
Trees, XYZ will fund the farm cum company entirely on its own. Prior to founding Farm
of Olive Tree, XYZ worked for many of Pakistan's biggest commercial farms and olive oil
processing companies; he has a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Science from the SU.
