The Centre de Transformation Agro-Industriel (CETAI) is a food processing and conditioning plant project based in the Arcahaie region. The plant will primarily condition beans, cleaning, dehydrate, and package them initially in 50kg polypropylene bags and eventually pack beans in 1 to 5 lbs pouches. The company aims to take advantage of the harvest season in the Corridor of Matheux, which starts in June 2012.
CETAI’s business plan outlines the company’s objectives, market, and financial projections, as well as its partnership with the Watershed Initiative for National Environmental Resources (WINNER). WINNER has decided to encourage CETAI by helping farmer associations integrate into a cooperative, FACMA, which will hold a 20% stake in CETAI. This partnership is expected to yield significant benefits for the region, FACMA, and CETAI.
The company’s principal promoter is Mr. Carlo Darbouze, who has over 25 years of experience in the industry and has worked for various companies in the USA. He is currently the General Manager of Miami Bottling & Packaging Group, a company based in North Miami that processes a portfolio of food products. The company’s business plan highlights the importance of the partnership between CETAI and FACMA, which will enable the company to add value to products that previously could not be sold due to poor road conditions, storage, and storage facilities.
The total project cost is $1,630,980.00 US, with CETAI bringing $1,043,766.00 US as equity and seeking a loan of $587,214.00 US, representing 36% of the project cost. The financing plan outlines the company’s financial projections, including the interest rate on debt, debt maturity, and total resources.
