PLANNING A FRUIT PROCESSING PLANT BASED ON THREE SCENARIOS

We have compiled the financial planning of a fruit processing plant in county Bács-Kiskun. After visiting existing plants and similar activities, family farms, apple orchards and collecting interviews and company data with plant managers, we planned our own investment project. The project NTP-HHTDK-20-0001 provided assistance for professional field trips and data collection. The company of the biggest dimension has 50 partners who farm approximately 1,000 acres. They produce mainly elderberry and apple juice. Taking tender opportunities into account we carried out our financial pre-calculations. We have compiled three scenarios. In the case of the first, we performed calculations financed exclusively from equity, without leverage, and in the case of the second and third, we performed our financial calculations taking into account the tender possibilities. For all three cases we applied the NPV, IRR, PB, DPB and PI indicators. As it turned out, the two calculations financed by tenders are more economical so they should be performed in the future.
