1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Business Overview

GoldHarvest Agro-Allied Processing Ltd. is a proposed fully integrated soybean processing company to be located in Ikorodu Industrial Estate, Lagos State. The plant will convert raw soybeans into multiple high-value agro-industrial products including:

Primary Product Lines

1. Crude and Refined Soybean Oil (for cooking and food manufacturing)
2. Soybean Cake/Meal (for poultry, fish feed, and livestock feed mills)
3. Full-Fat Soy Flour (FFSF)
4. Defatted Soy Flour (DSF)
5. Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
6. Soy Lecithin
7. Tofu & Fresh Soymilk Line (value-added consumer products)

This multi-line output model ensures maximum value addition, minimizes waste (hulls used for feed or biomass), and diversifies revenue streams.

The plant will operate as a 60–80 tons/day soybean processing factory, using:

• Cleaning
• Dehulling
• Extrusion
• Mechanical pressing + solvent extraction
• Refining
• Milling
• Texturizing
• Wet processing line for soymilk & tofu

Nigeria imports significant volumes of soybean oil and soymeal due to insufficient local processing capacity, creating an attractive market gap.

1.2 Mission Statement

To provide high-quality, nutritious, and competitively priced soy-based products for food industries, households, and feed manufacturers while promoting agricultural development, jobs, and sustainable food security in Nigeria.

1.3 Vision Statement

To become one of the top three integrated soybean processors in West Africa within 10 years through innovation, operational excellence, and agro-value chain integration.

1.4 Core Values

• Quality & Safety
• Innovation
• Sustainability
• Customer Commitment
• Transparency & Accountability
• Community Impact

1.5 Key Success Factors

1. Robust local soybean supply network (Kaduna, Benue, Kano, Taraba).
2. Multi-product diversification reduces market risk.
3. Federal government support for agribusiness and backward integration.
4. Strong demand from:
• Feed mills (soymeal)
• FMCG companies (soy flour & lecithin)
• Cooking oil market
• Health-conscious consumers
5. Strategic location near Lagos ports and markets.

1.6 Revenue Streams

Industrial Outputs

• Soybean Oil
• Soybean Meal/Cake
• Full-Fat & Defatted Soy Flour
• Lecithin
• Soy Grits
• Soy Hulls (sold to feed mills)

Retail & FMCG Outputs

• Packaged Soybean Oil
• Tofu
• Soymilk (250ml & 1L)
• Textured Vegetable Protein (packaged)

1.7 Estimated Startup Capital

₦3.8 billion – ₦4.6 billion, covering:

• 60–80 tons/day processing plant
• Solvent extraction unit
• Refinery
• Flour milling section
• TVP extrusion line
• Wet processing line
• Storage silos
• Buildings, utilities & working capital

Final CAPEX table will be in Batch 3 & Appendices.

1.8 Financial Projections (Years 1–5)

(Full details in Batch 3)

Year 1 Revenue: ₦5.6 billion

Year 5 Revenue: ₦12.4 billion

Year 5 Profit After Tax: ₦2.8 billion

Breakeven Point: Year 3 (Month 10)

Internal Rate of Return (IRR): Approx. 28–33%

These projections are based on current Nigerian market prices, feed industry demand, and FMCG soy-product imports.

1.9 Funding Requirements

₦4 billion, sourced through:

• Equity (40%)
• Bank Loan (45%)
• Development Grants (5%)
• Asset Financing (10%)

1.10 Location Justification

Ikorodu, Lagos State was selected due to:

• Proximity to major feed mills (Olam, Amo, Hybrid Feeds, CHI).
• Access to Southwest markets (Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun).
• Access to Apapa and Tin Can ports for export.
• Industrial land availability and good power infrastructure.
