Background and justification of the project

Food processing is a sunrise industry of the Bangladeshi economy and has been
identified as thrust area for development. Food processing sector covers a wide range
of items like fruits and vegetables; meat and poultry; milk and milk products,
alcoholic beverages, fisheries, plantation, grains, confectionery, chocolates and cocoa
products, mineral water, high protein foods etc. Based on the basic raw material
usage, food industry can broadly be classified into plant based and animal based.
Meat industry is one of the important segments of food processing industry in
general and livestock/animal based industry in particular. Bangladesh has immense
potential for production, consumption and export of meat due to sufficient resources,
available markets and huge livestock population.
The growth of meat industry is constrained by a number of socio-cultural and
economic factors at different levels of production, processing, handling and
marketing. Meat production is mainly constrained due to lack of productivity
augmenting technologies since the major quantity of meat is being produced in
unorganized slaughterhouses, where resource utilization is very limited.

These

slaughterhouses are old, unhygienic and lack basic facilities like water, light,
ventilation, drainage, waste disposal and effluent treatment which contribute to poor
meat quality and low recovery of various by-products such as hides, blood, bone
meal, internal organs and trimmings. Therefore, technology is the key to
improvement in growth and efficiency in meat processing sector. Empirical
evidences on contribution of technology to growth of meat processing industry in
Bangladesh are scarce. However, the evidences from food industry as a whole
indicate varied contribution of technology to growth of food processing industry
Our project would be produce world class meat in Bangladesh. We will produce safe
wholesome meat and meat products that are of the highest quality and standard
primarily for domestic and later on International consumers. We will ensure meeting
statutory and regulatory requirements and food safety requirements of our
consumers. Accordingly, we meet different benchmark like ISO (HACCP Inclusive),
HALAL and environment license. We will offer Halal, Fresh and Superior Quality
meat of Poultry, Cattle, Goat and Sheep.

We would be processed halal meat to domestic supplier, will triple its domestic
growth within 5 years after its introduction. The trend will reflect the sharp rise in
demand for processed meat in Bangladesh at a time when consumers have become
increasingly concerned by reports of food adulteration. The management of project
believes it has a huge market for processed halal meat in Bangladesh

Objectives of the project

Development objectives:
Creating job in the rural areas thereby contributing to the reduction of both poverty
and rural-urban migration.
Encouraging the development of supportive infrastructure services such are rural
access roads, electricity, water and telecommunications.
Improving rural incomes by adding value to products thereby saving on transport cost
by delivering high-value/low volume products and creating opportunities for the use
of by-products as inputs in other farm operations such as animal feeds, manure, and
fuel.

Immediate objectives:
1. Eliminate middleman from the supply chain
2. Lower costs relative to key competitors
3. Broader or more attractive product line than rivals
4. Provide superior customer service
5. Recognition as a leader in technology and/or product innovation
6. Achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction than rivals
7. Analyze the market situation and market strategies

Current Demand and Supply Analysis of Meat
There is a high demand for meat in the local markets. In the past, the beef price was relatively
low due the ready supply of cattle from neighboring country. But it is a great matter of sorrow
that, the supply has recently been restricted and as a result meat prices have increased
sharply.
Constraints to long term development of the beef industry include lack of improved breeds,
low meat quality, and insurance among smallholders. Actually, the demand for beef is greater
than the supply of beef.

Location of farm and shop

Farm location: Farm will be established at Gazipur. Initially we plan to build the
farm for 200 cows. It will need approximately 5 acres of land. where plant area
covers 1.5 acres and the rest include animal sheds, by-products shed, office
and staff dormitory.
Shop location: Our first retail shop will be located at Gulshan, Dhaka. We plan to
open its first year of production. After that we establish retail chain shop all the major
city of the country. We will also sale our product through online market such as
website to reach majority customers.

Product strategies
Halal Meat
Bangladesh is the land of majority of Muslims. So, people always consider Halal
foods to eat. With this consideration, we will maintain all the rules and regulations to
slaughter the animals.
Product Differentiation
At the beginning we will only offer raw and primal cut beef and different kind of processed
beef products such as beef minced, beef sausage, beef meat ball, beef fillet slice, beef steak
etc. From second production year we will introduce following products:

Lamb
Mutton

Chicken

Production Process
The first stage of the meat processing operation is the slaughtering of the cattle, skinning the
carcass, trimming and separating the different parts of the body. Then the meat is sterilized to
7 | Page

avoid the bacteria that may exist in the meat. The treatment duration for sterilization will
depend on the bacteriological quality of the meat which in turn depends on the nature of the
meat where the presence of high degree of fat in the meat will affect the sterilization process.
Other factors include slaughtering conditions and sanitary conditions after the slaughtering.
Then the meat is cooked in sauce together with other ingredients and canned at the end.
An alternative processing technology that has recently expanded in some rich countries is to
use pasteurization method instead of sterilization of meat. This is because sterilization
processes compromise the retention of compounds that are heat-sensitive in the foods, and
alter the organoleptic characteristics of the raw meat. Vitamins, for example, may be
destroyed by high temperatures and/or their long duration. With the aim of remedying this
problem, a process has been developed in recent years in which prepared foods may be heat
treated at a temperature at which their organoleptic properties are less affected than in
sterilization processes. This alternative, however, is very expensive where it costs more than
double of the technology proposed in this profile.

Disposal of waste products

The greatest liability to a new meat plant is disposal of waste products. Materials such as
waste fat, most bones, blood, and inedible offal represent a significant percentage of the
animals carcass that must be disposed of. These are often picked up by rendering companies
who process them into animal supplements. But our farm located in remote place where no
rendering company nearby. So we have to dispose the byproducts using composite technique.

Training Requirement
Training of key personnel is very essential and shall be conducted in collaboration with the
suppliers of the plant machineries. The training should primarily focus on the livestock
management, production technology and machinery maintenance and trouble shooting. BDT
150,000 will be allocated as training expense.

Project Monitoring and Evaluation

One of the crucial part of the project is Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the project.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) should not costlier than the project itself. Some expert
says should be 10%-15% of the project. Main cost related to Monitoring and Evaluation
(M&E) is data allocating and collecting data.
We will work to integrate an information system needed to effectively manage the beef
supply/value chains created. This system will enable tracking and traceability of all products
flowing through the facility.
We developed following Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan for the project:
Hire Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) expertise for the firm
Identify the goals and objectives of the project
Understand the customer needs
Identify the data sources and collect data and time to take collect data
Feasible study of collected data
Take measure according to the study

Conclusion
Bangladesh is a high population density country. But the supply for the meat is really low.
Only few farm sell processed meat but they charge high price which only affordable for high
income level people. To keep that in mind we developing a farm which main idea is to
produce high quality product and serve in an affordable price. And we are introducing direct
sale of processed meat to the consumer which will reduce the middleman in supply chain.
