Maize based 25 bioproducts - SEZ – Reducing CAPEX & OPEX

Project Outline

Core projects: Ethanol or Commercial starch

Composite Ethanol project: 150,000T/Y superfine + DDGS 135,000T/Y + 3,000T/Y impure alcohol + 600T/Y fusel oil + 12,000T/Y corn oil

Cost Approx.: US$ 90 Million

Composite starch project: 50,000T/Y starch + 6,000T/Y corn oil + 11,000T/Y protein powder + 21,000T/Y fibber + 10,000T/Y germ cake + 12,000T/Y steep liquor

Approx.: US$ 30 Million

Simple Starch project: 100,000 T/Y starch + Germ cake 9750 T/Y + corn Fiber 20,000 T/Y + Protein 7500 T/Y.

Approx.: US$ 9.3 M

2. 20 Bioproducts

1. Xylitol - (Corn cob) 2. Sorbitol 3. Mannitol 4. Maltitol 5. Furfural 6. Erythritol 7. Lactic acid 8. Polylactic acid 9. Lysine 10. Probiotics 11. enzyme 12. Vitamin C etc.

3. SEZ outline - Land: 100 to 300 Acre

Ethanol or Starch project: 30 Acres + Utilities: 10 Acre (Common pool) + Residential: 10 acres + Selling out for related industry, 20 bio products: 50 to 250 acres

(Reducing CAPEX by 20%)

Related industry: Reducing OPEX by 10%
Common facilities: Power + Steam + Water + Residential, commercial areas etc.

(Reducing OPEX by 10%)

SEZ incentives: Import duty, income tax, Captive power permission

4. Prospects

Maize-based bioproducts market expanding big way. Export potential + Pakistan has cheaper raw material and manpower

5. Financing and attracting investment

Hybrid equipment, (local, Chinese, European), core project financing from Europe at lowest interest
Roadshow in China, Brussels for bioproducts investors

Note: We are suggesting 1000 acres on lease for maize cultivation, introducing hybrid and genetic seeds.
