Abstract
The present study concerns the establishment of an agricultural waste treatment facility in the Region of Central Macedonia by "I. Tsompanoglou S.A." The primary objective of the facility is to manage the waste generated from the investor’s livestock facility. To ensure its sustainability, the treatment facility will also receive agricultural residues from the investor's privately owned land. More specifically, Chapter 2 presents the investment's background, the unit's founder, and the cost of pre-investment studies, which amounts to €23,000. Chapter 3 focuses on Market Analysis and Marketing. It initially presents general information regarding the current production and management of agricultural waste at the national level and defines the management objectives set. Then, an analysis of the macro and micro environment of the business is conducted, along with a SWOT analysis. The chapter further defines the business strategy and concludes with the marketing approach to be implemented. The marketing cost for the first year of operation is estimated at €28,000, while revenues from the unit's operation are projected at approximately €900,000. Chapter 4 outlines the raw materials that the unit will process, their quantities, sources, and costs, which amount to €178,750 for the first year. Chapter 5 analyzes the technology to be applied in the processing unit, along with all required accompanying infrastructure projects. This chapter details the production program, the unit’s processing capacity—approximately 31,100 tons per year—and the process flow diagram. It also highlights that the construction of the unit and the supply and installation of all necessary equipment will be carried out by a construction company as a turnkey solution. The total cost of equipment procurement and unit construction amounts to €2,100,000. Chapter 6 presents the administrative structure and organizational chart of the business and specifies its general expenses, which amount to €83,500 for the first year of operation. Chapter 7 defines the required operational personnel and necessary specialties, the selection process, and labor costs, which amount to €165,000 for the first year. Chapter 8 provides details regarding the investment location, installation site, and environment, focusing on the classification of the project in terms of potential environmental impacts. The chapter concludes that the planned facility falls into subcategory A2, requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study for its environmental licensing.
