BASIC PROJECT PARAMETERS

BASIC PARAMETERS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE PROJECT (WHEREVER
APPLICABLE)

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The objective of the Tendaho Sugar Factory Project is to establish a new sugar plant
with a total design cane crushing capacity of 26,000 tons per day to produce about
600,000- tons/annum of raw sugar and 50 % of raw sugar is to be refined to produce
refined sugar of EEC Grade II specifications. The project site comprises of Tendaho
dam and the proposed sugar factory which is located in the lower portion [delta
region] of the Awash basin and in Afar Regional State of Ethiopia. The dam site is
located 575 km away from Addis Ababa, capital city of Ethiopia, and is connected
through a very well developed highway from Addis Ababa to City of Djibouti.

Semera is the new capital city of the Afar Regional State, which is still under
construction, is located on the Addis Ababa Djibouti highway at a distance of 580
km from Addis Ababa. Logia, Dubti and Asaita are other towns in the nearby area.

The detailed picture of Ethiopia showing Tendaho is shown in Figure 1a and the
project area/Site is shown in Figure 1b.

2.0 GENERAL SITE DATA

Road approach Project site is located in the lower Awash valley of the
Afar Administration region and about 600 km North
East to Addis Ababa. Road transport on all weathered
surfaced road almost up to the site is available.

Sea Port Port of entry for imported goods by marine transport is

Port Djibouti. The transportation from Port Djibouti to
Tendaho site is by Addis Djibouti tarmac highway.

Air Port Port of entry for air transport is Addis Ababa (about 600
km from project site).

Factory coordinates UTME 764700 E and UTME 1278600 N

Height above msl 350 m
Rainy season July to October
Average rainfall 235 mm

Climatic condition Hot & dry; climatic condition records indicate that the
hot season will normally restrict the crushing period to
about 39 Weeks, extending from October through to
June.

cooling towers

4.0 PREVAILING WIND

During the milling season the prevailing winds are approximately South Westerly
from May to October, North-easterly from November to April. The factory building
should be designed for wind speed of 79 km/h.

5.0 CANE QUALITY AND THROUGHPUT

mechanically harvested and
mechanically loaded before
transport to factory

Pol % Cane - 12.98

Fibre % cane (average) - 13.79

(For sugar factory capacity) - 14.50
(For cogeneration plant capacity) - 13.79

Cane through put - 1,085 TCH

26,040 TCD on 24 hours basis
