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 sectorial research to identify policy, access to finance, business development services, strategic initiatives and institutional collaboration and networking initiatives. Preparation and dissemination of pre-feasibility studies in key areas of investment has been a hallmark of SME facilitation by SMEDA. Concurrent to the pre-feasibility 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.

4 INTRODUCTION TO SCHEME
Prime Ministers Youth Business Loan program, for young entrepreneurs, with an allocated budget of Rs. 5.0 Billion for the year 2013-14, is designed to provide subsidised financing at 8% mark-up per annum for one hundred thousand (100,000)

beneficiaries, through designated financial institutions, initially through the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and the First Women Bank Ltd. (FWBL). Loans from Rs. 0.1 million to Rs. 2.0 million with tenure up to 8 years inclusive of 1 year grace period, and a debt: equity of 90: 10 will be disbursed to SME beneficiaries across Pakistan, covering; Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cut Flower Farm is proposed to be located at favorable flower growing areas in Pakistan including Pattoki, Khaniwal, Faisalabad, Dadu, Sukkur, Peshawar, Swat, Quetta, Kalat, Ziarat, Pishin, Khanozai, Killa Saifullah etc. The varieties included are Gladiolus, Mari Gold, Statice and Chrysanthemum. Production Capacity of Gladiolus, Statice, Chrysanthemum and Marigold is 150,000 Kg, having first year production capacity of 60,000 Kg at initial utilization of 40% in year -01. Total Cost Estimate is Rs. 1.88 Million with fixed investment of Rs. 1.53 Million and working capital of Rs. 0.35 Million. Given the cost assumptions IRR and payback are 71% and 2.04 years, respectively. The most critical considerations or factors for success of the project are: One of the major competitive advantages of Balochistan is the tenure of production. In Balochistan, flower plants can be produced for 8 months while in other provinces of Pakistan, such period is for 4 months only. Balochistans dry and cold climate offers better opportunities for growth of cut flower. Quetta, Mastung, Kalat, Pishin, Killa Saifullah and Ziarat are some of the areas recommended for starting such a farm in Balochistan.

6 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Target Market: The target market for the Cut Flower Farm is local. Major buyers of cut flower are in larger cities such as Karachi, Peshawar, Lahore and Islamabad and domestic market is Quetta, whereas, other potential areas of Balochistan can also be targeted based upon demand. Employment Generation: The proposed project will provide direct employment to 06 people. Financial analysis shows the unit shall be profitable from the very first year of operation.

7 CRITICAL FACTORS
Establishment of the farms in areas where basic infrastructure including water and electricity are available. Farming should be done on scientific grounds, taking care of input requirements and pest management techniques. Well-trained / experienced staff will add to the efficiency of the farm. Producer should be aware of ever-changing fashion in terms of flower color and varieties. Special attention towards healthy and certified seeds / bulbs, land preparation, sowing pattern, water management, fertilizer application and marketing is required.

8 INSTALLED AND OPERATIONAL CAPACITY

Total farm area is assumed to be five (05) Acres. Cultivation of Gladiolus, Statice, Chrysanthemum and Marigold will be distributed on the farm area respectively.

9 GEOGRAPHIC POTENTIAL FOR INVESTMENT

Pakistan is a country conducive to small scale farming where floriculture provides an opportunity for enhancing income from available land resources. Floriculture is an upcoming opportunity in the country since it requires less water and provides more per acre income than traditional crops. It can play a major role in the economy. It can become an important sector such as Horticulture, Livestock & Fisheries. Favorable growing areas particularly including Pattoki, Khaniwal, Faisalabad, Dadu, Sukkur, Peshawar, Swat, Quetta, Kalat, Ziarat, Pishin, Khanozai, Killa Saifullah etc. One of the major competitive advantages of Balochistan is the tenure of production. In Balochistan, flower plants can be in produced for 8 months while in other provinces of Pakistan, such period is for 4 months only.

10 POTENTIAL TARGET MARKETS / CITIES

Major buyers of cut flowers are in large cities such as Karachi, Peshawar, Lahore, and Islamabad. Main local target market is Quetta, whereas, other potential areas of Balochistan can also be targeted based on demand.

Pre-feasibility Study

Cut Flower Farm

Prime Ministers Youth Business Loan. Various cost and revenue related assumptions along with results of the analysis are outlined in this section. The projected Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement and Balance Sheet are attached as appendix. 12.1 Project Economics

The total project investment is Rs. 1.88 Million which includes Capital Cost of Rs. 1.53 Million and Working Capital of Rs. 0.35 Million. All the figures in this financial model have been calculated for a total farm area assumed to be Five (05) Acres. Cultivation of the cut flowers is expected to yield 150,000 Gladiolus, Statice, Chrysanthemum and Marigold over a distributed area of 05 Acres, respectively. Yield covered by Cut Flower Farm of Gladiolus, Statice, Chrysanthemum and Marigold in year one will be 60,000 at initial capacity of 40%. The following table shows internal rates of return and payback period.
Table 3 - Project Economics

Description Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Payback Period (Yrs) Net Present Value NPV (Rs.)

Details 71% 2.04 4,196,607

Since floriculture sector in Pakistan is not highly developed there are great variations in the production and consumption cycle of cut flowers. The production cycle is especially dependent upon the natural environment and weather. Similarly, the consumption cycle is influenced by marriages, religious (URS) and political occasions. Due to these reasons it is difficult to forecast the actual requirement for cut flowers. Similarly, due to the perishable nature of the product, appropriate infrastructure and transportation also plays an important role in marketing and profitability of cut flowers. Focus on healthy and certified seeds/ bulbs, land preparation, sowing pattern, water management, fertilizer application, hiring of skilled personal, pest management, ever-changing fashion in terms of flower color and varieties, along with marketing is required to avoid project losses.
