2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Please provide concise summary of the proposed projectinnot more than one page

EXON Dairy is located in District Sahiwal just around 10 kilometers away from themain city. The project started in 2009 and its current herd size comprises of 100 crossbreed animals all locally procured with 50% productive heads. From the inception itsells all the milk produced to the Nestle Pakistan Ltd. The project has gone through a

learning curve of three eventful years of dairy farming experience and the first breedof heifers is now calving on the farm.

Total envisaged cost needed for the addition of machinery/ equipments is US $ 50,000and 50% share ie US $ 25,000 is sought as grant to achieve the objective. We expect a

considerable improvement in efficiency by incurring the following mini project costs.

Serial # Detail of Project Costs Efficiency Impact

1 Bio Gas Plant

In the current state of affairs 12-16 hours load

shedding is a big issue. Bio Gas plant of 8-10

kVA will improve energy efficiency and reduceenergy bill

2 Tractor

Need to add 375 model. Will help in cultivation

and silage pressing. Currently we have to rent

375 tractor when needed

3 Silage Making Machine Currently renting from NPL, renting cost is high

and timely availability is always an issue4 Wanda Machine 500 Kg capacity commercial production and

sale to other farmers

5 IP based CCTV Camera withUPS

4. PROJECT BACKGROUND &FOCUS

Briefly describe, in not more than one page, the situation/circumstances which have led to theneed to develop the proposed project and how it will add value.

Exon Farm was constructed by consulting Pakistan Dairy Development Company(PDDC) with the objective and vision to establish a model dairy farm in the area. As

PDDC limited its operations in last two years due to budgetary constraints we soughthelp from PUMS Netherland experts for help and guidance for learning the trait and

were associated with an expert who paid a two week visit in early 2011.Subsequently one of the sponsors from Exon Dairy also visited Netherland to have anexposure of modern dairy farming practices in vogue. The project costs covered in

this EOI were strongly recommended by PUM Experts and management also feels

that this would greatly help the project operation for longer term sustainability goals.

5. PROJECT GOAL AND RELEVANCE TO

ASF/

UAP

OBJECTIVES

Describe, in not more than half a page, the overall goal of the project and how it is in

accordance with ASF objectives. Also briefly explain what will be the short and long-term

impacts of the project on agri economy?

Overall Goals of the Project:

1. To strengthen the capacity of smallholders by sharing best practices andproviding assistance to smallholders operate autonomously and efficiently.

2.

To create employment in the farming sector and to create awareness andpromote standard practices of dairy farming through a profitable commercialventure, and thus contribute the national economy.

3. To run Exon Dairy as a model hi-tech dairy farm to promote dairy farmingamong the farmers of adjoining area and to create awareness of use of latest

dairy management practices such as mechanized milking, Silage Fodders,artificial inseminations techniques, computerized record maintenance, Bio Gas,Solar energy purpose built housing for cow comfort etc.

Alignment with ASF Objectives:

Bio Gas

Installation of a 8-10 KVA Bio Gas Plant will help address the energy needs of the farm

and also benefit the workers of the farms residing in their dwelling next to the farm.Energy shortfall in the country is causing a load shedding of 12 to 16 hours a day andseverely damaging the farm efficiency. The current appliances on farm requiringuninterrupted electricity are light bulbs, cooling fans, computer, refrigerator, waterpump, chilling unit, milking machine, fodder cutter and tube well. Running all these on

diesel generation is not cost effective and having a Bio Gas Set up will not only ensureavailability of electricity but also a reduction of energy bill by 25 to 30 %.

An additional side benefit is that the waste, following the burning of the methane itreleases, can be used as fertilizer for agricultural crops. By converting existing tube

well operation from WAPDA to Bio Gas consistent supply of irrigation water will beensured for the farm land and besides surrounding farmers will also benefit greatlyfacing water shortage due to load shedding.

Excess Biogas will be provided to farm workers who are living in the vicinity. Biogas,being a clean source of domestic energy is socially acceptable to the communitiesas it will replace the dirty and socially non-acceptable sources of domestic energylike cow dung cakes, fuel-wood that emits smokes and cause indoor pollution; the

root cause of tuberculoses.


8/16

Page 8 of16

Women folk have to rely on wood or cow dung cakes for the household fuel needsnot only involving manual labor but also are exposed to health and hygieneproblems. Provision of biogas right inside their kitchen will greatly solve their problems

and relieve them from such agonies. Thus women folk can concentrate on otherhousehold activities and their health and indoor environment will greatly improve.

Commercial Production and sale of Concentrate (Wanda)

Within the surrounding radius of 25-30 kms of Exon Dairy farm, there areapproximately 5060 small dairy farmer set ups with the herd size ranging from 5 -50.and sell milk to Gawalas or processing companies like Nestle Pakistan, Engro Foods

etc.The key objective of setting up Wanda Making Facility is to provide quality wanda to

the smallholders at affordable cost.

Short and long-term impacts of the project on agri economy:

In the shorter term the project efficiency will be improved giving more room forexpansion. The workers on the farm will benefit from bio gas installation. Thesurrounding farmers will benefit from the availability of excess water by the Exon FarmsTube well operating on bio source during load shedding hours.

In the longer term Exon Dairys management vision is to establish a dairy training centreoffering short term on farm trainings to teach best dairy farming practices for the small

to medium sized farm. The sponsors hail from the eldest lineage of shirazi family clanand feel obligated to undertake projects for the social benefits of the people of theirancestral village comprising of 4,000 plus people. A land area has already been

earmarked for this centre. (Future vision)
