    SUMMARY
    This profile envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of Lau
    ndry Soap
    with a capacity of 3,600 tonnes per annum.
    The present demand for the proposed product is estimated at 29,520
    tonnes per annum.
    The demand is expected to reach at 37,352 tonnes by the year 2010.
    The plant will create employment opportunities f
    or 64 persons.
    The total investment requirement is estimated at Birr 18.3 million, out of
    which Birr 2.0
    million is required for plant and machinery.
    The project is financially viable with an internal rate of return (IRR) of
    16.85% and a net
    present valu
    e (NPV) of Birr 8.5 million, discounted at 8.5 %.

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
    Laundry Soap is a cleansing agent or detergent, made from animal and
    vegetable fats, oils
    and greases; chemically, the sodium salt of a fatty acid, formed by the i
    nteraction of fats
    and oils with alkali.
    Most soaps remove grease and other dirt because some of their
    components are surface
    active agents, or surfactants. Surfactants have a molecular structure that
    acts as a link
    between water and the dirt particles,
    loosening the particles from the underlying fibers or
    other surfaces to be cleaned. It is used for laundry and household cleaning.

    MARKET STUDY
    1.
    Past Supply and Present Demand
    Laundry soap, which is u
    sed for cleaning clothes as well as household utensils, is a
    necessity in urban households. The demand for the product is, therefore,
    mainly
    associated with urbanization. The country’s requirement for laundry soap
    has been met
    through domestic production a
    nd import. Table 3.1 shows the supply of the product from
    domestic production and imports during 1989
    -
    2002. During the period under reference,
    total supply averaged at 64,293 tonnes, of which 12,301 tonnes constituted
    domestic
    production and the remaining
    14,992 tonnes is met from imports. Thus, on the average,
    domestic production accounted for 44 per cent of the country's requirement
    for laundry
    soap, indicating much of the demand for the product (56%) is still met
    through imports.
