2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed project is about establishing a Raisin Production Unit in high
productivity areas of grapes of Balochistan. The respective facility can create a
strong market in country. In addition, it can also be exported if produced according
to international standards and compliance. The project would serve as facility to
utilize abundant raw material existing in the country. On the other hand, it would
generate employment for the local inhabitants and more over would possibly
cause cash inflow for the country as well. Currently the project is being designed /
proposed for adjoining areas of major cities but the same can be proposed for
several other cities which can fulfill input and logistic requirements of the project.
Initially the project is proposed to attract domestic customers but after its maturity,
international customers could also be easily targeted. The main feature of the
project would include hygienically produced raisins (dehydrated grapes up to 80-
85%) according to international quality standards. Whereas value addition will be
done is shape of quality processing, standardize packaging & final product with
proper preservation ability.
The Proposed product mix for the project will be standardized raisin, processed in
accordance with internationally accepted quality standards. Whereas value
addition will be done is shape of quality processing, standardize packaging and
flavor adding in shape of Victoria oil etc.
The project is highly dependent upon the availability of Grapes. So keeping in view
the seasonal production of grapes, it is suggested that the project may be initiated
between July and September. However, commercial production can process
through this facility by utilizing round their production of other varieties of grapes.
In addition, the semi processed raisin coming from neighboring countries can be a
vital input for further processing / value addition in order to exploit its commercial
importance.
Product include Dried and Packaged Raisins. The capacity of the unit is to
produce Raisins in the first year is 390,000 Kg and the maximum production it will
produce 570,000 kg at 95% capital utilization. Total Cost Estimates is Rs.
24,963,842 with fixed investment Rs. 22,206,046 and working capital Rs.
2,757,796. Given the cost assumptions IRR and payback are 53% and 3.42 years
respectively.

3 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was
established in October 1998 with an objective to provide fresh impetus to the
economy through development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
With a mission "to assist in employment generation and value addition to the
national income, through development of the SME sector, by helping increase the
number, scale and competitiveness of SMEs", SMEDA has carried out ‘sectoral
research’ to identify policy, access to finance, business development services,
strategic initiatives and institutional collaboration and networking initiatives.
Preparation and dissemination of prefeasibility studies in key areas of investment
has been a successful hallmark of SME facilitation by SMEDA.
Concurrent to the prefeasibility studies, a broad spectrum of business
development services is also offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services
include identification of experts and consultants and delivery of need based
capacity building programs of different types in addition to business guidance
through help desk services.

5.1.1 Harvesting
Starting in late June – July and continuing through September, the grapes are
harvested. At this point in the year they are at their optimum sweetness. Bunches
of grapes are handpicked by field workers and placed on paper trays, which are
laid out on the ground. To provide a good surface for the raisin trays the soil
between the rows is leveled.
5.1.2 Drying
Depending on the weather, the grapes are allowed to dry on the trays for two to
four weeks. During this time, the moisture content of the grape is reduced from
75% to under 15% and the color of the fruit changes to a brownish purple. At night,
the trays are rolled to minimize the accumulation of sand and protect against raisin
moth infestation. The paper trays are embedded with a certified compound, which
kills insects. After the fruit is dried, the paper trays are rolled up around the raisins
to form a package. The rolls are gathered and stored in boxes or bins before being
transported by truck to a processing plant.
5.1.3 Inspection
When the rolls of fruit arrive at the manufacturing plant, they are emptied out onto
wire screens and shaken to remove dirt and other unwanted debris. They are also
inspected to ensure that they meet previously determined specifications. Factors
such as moisture content, color, and taste are all used to evaluate the shipment.
Based on their quality, the raisins are graded as either standard or substandard.
Only the standard graded raisins can be immediately used.
5.1.4 Storage
After careful inspection the standard graded grapes are moved to the production
lines, while the substandard graded are forwarded for further drying. As the
substandard graded raisins are moved for storage, they are stacked outside the
plant in temporary storage enclosures. These enclosures are constructed with
polyethylene sheeting fastened to wooden frames. They are made tight enough to
hold the fumigation gasses, which are applied periodically to inhibit insect growth.

Pre-Feasibility Study (Raisin Production Unit)
1. The residual sand and other debris are first removed by running the raisins on
a fine mesh screen while air is blown on them.
2. Immature fruit is removed by suction devices.
3. Then the raisins are separated from the bunch stem by shaking.
4. The cap stems on each raisin are removed by being passed through two
rotating conical surfaces. If there are seeds in the raisins, they are
mechanically removed.
5. When all these processing steps are completed, the raisins are run through a
series of mesh screens to sort them according to size.
6. Hereby, value addition can be done in term of taste by processing through the
substances like Victoria oil for flavoring.
5.1.6 Packaging
After mechanical processing proper standardized packaging of final product is
done and forwarded for transportation at this point the raisins can be put into a
variety of packaging. These range in size from small 1, 2, and 5 kg cardboard
containers for individual consumption to 1,100 lb (499.4 kg) containers for
industrial use.

5.3.1 Opportunities
Diversified demand of the product from the medicine and food industry.
Escalating demand based on rapidly growing population.
Availability of raw material.
Lack of certified producer.
Established market & demand.
5.3.2 Threats
The proposed project will be facing the following threat:
Price fluctuations and macroeconomic instability.
Imports from neighboring countries.
In relevance to data provided by USDA, raisin imports of world are around 708,566
tons in year 2017-18, respectively showing a 2-percent increase over the previous
year as compare to exports. Turkey is the key supplier to the EU market. Other

major import markets include Kazakhstan and China is estimated around 42,000
tons and 34,800 tons, respectively. Over the last several years there is a gradual
increase in imports, opening a gate way of potential in respective industry.
Following countries could be the market for the Packaged Raisins produced:
