Executive Summary

Sugar Cane Juice Factory is one of the best industries for getting foreign earning in the short run.Basically sugar cane factory is a cottage industry but now it turning in to big industry. Because of its

properties, facilities it is now gaining more and more interest of the world wide. The demand of sugarcane juice is increasing world wide. So, to meet the demand of foreign market, exporting firms areproducing more sugar cane juice in new packets and bottles. More over the demand is increasing day byday. To comply with the academic requirement of Marketing Management Bus 315, ManaratInternational University Bangladesh. We are assigned to design a business report on sugar cane juicefactory. At first we have taken a side of background of juice factory which is contributing the nationalearning by export. A particle observation was conducted to make the sugar cane juice factory marketdemand through technical and financial aspects of proposed project. We have analyzed the projectsprofitability by four techniques namely NPV and playback period. All the techniques support theproject. We have also analyzed the social east benefit aspects. It hoped that the project will contributeour national economy.

We have found that raw material for this project is available in Tangail, Pabna, Eashardi,

Dinajpur, Kustia and in this region. Besides in our project plan we keep the provision of selling the

trashed wastage to Pakshi Paper mill. Keeping every thing in consideration we have choosen the land in

Kalihati thana of Tangail.

This land is financed by a financer. It has option to use the river to carry out the materials from

other districts if necessary. Behind the plant, we will have land for cultivating sugarcane.

3. GeneralInformation

: A technology has been developedfor preserving the sugarcane juice in

bottles for a period up to six

months. The process of preserving

the sugarcane juice involves peeling,

crushing, filtration, pasteurization

and bottling. Sodium Benzoate @

125 ppm is added as preservative.

The bottled juice can be stored

without any loss in the quality and

flavor for six months at room

temperature. The cost involved for

the production of one bottle (200

ml) of juice is Rs.1.50. Consumer

acceptability of the preserved juice

was evaluated and found to be 98per cent.
