1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cotton is a fiber being widely accepted by consumers, not least because many products consisting of cotton have been made and used by man for a long time. Loose cotton has been used for a long time by the sanitary and pharmaceutical industry as so-called cotton wool, cotton wool tips and cotton balls. The raw cotton is processed by series of steps which render the cotton hydro-phillic in character and free from external impurities needed to be fit for use in surgical dressings and personal hygiene. With the development of medical facilities and growing awareness towards personal hygiene, the absorbent cotton industry registered steady growth rate in past and is picking up pace with the spread of education and upward economic growth of towns and villages.

Demand for absorbent cotton depends on various factors. The demand of this product is directly related with the increase in population and expansion of Public Health Services. The consumption of surgical cotton or cotton wool increases with the increase in population and number of hospitals, dispensaries, health care centers, nursing homes etc. Govt. hospitals and big nursing homes are the largest consumers for cotton wool. Cotton is a highly absorbent fiber and therefore suited very well for absorption of body fluids such as urine, blood and other fluids. It is used for bandages and wound dressings, absorbent pads (demake-up), tampons, sponges, swabs. Cotton also offers the positive property of being a naturally breathing fiber, i.e. it largely prevents the passage of fluids, but lets gas and water vapor pass. With this property cotton is also predestined for surgical gowns and drapes.

Government of Pakistan primarily has made majority of investment in health sector by setting up hospitals, health centers in different areas of Pakistan, but these facilities are not up to standard and are very less in numbers as compared to population. Generally, Health care in Pakistan is government sponsored, but over the years private health care providers have become more common due to the tremendous increase in population. With the increase in population the demand of surgical cotton is also increasing. Currently most of the surgical cotton manufacturing units are in Lahore, Karachi and Okara.

The total estimated cost of the project is Rs.37.525 million. The project shall be financed through equity contribution of 50% by Equity Contributor-Private Investor and 50% by Bank Loan. The project will be run by qualified professionals. In the total estimated cost, a sum of Rs. 5.709 million is required as working capital. Projected IRR, NPV and Payback of the proposed project are 32%, Rs. 38.722 million and 4.27 years respectively.

2 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive SME support program.

Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into consideration other important aspects including finance, marketing, technology and human resource development.

SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for industries such as horticulture, including export of fruits and vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewellery, marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical instruments, transport, dairy etc. Whereas the task of SME development at a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation.

Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is also offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business opportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project specific documents. These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are some of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viable business opportunities in a better way.

This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to make well-informed investment decisions.

3 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT The objective of this proposed Pre-feasibility is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs with the investment information and provide an overview about the "Absorbent Cotton Business". The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, and marketing, finance and business management. The document also provides sectoral information and international scenario, which have some bearing on the project itself.

The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors of the Absorbent Cotton business by providing them a macro and micro view of the business with the hope that the information provided herein will aid the potential investors in crucial investment decisions.

This particular Pre-feasibility is regarding setting up "Absorbent Cotton". Our report is based on the information obtained by us from industry sources as well as our discussions with businessmen. For financial model, since the forecast/projections relate to the future

periods, actual results are likely to differ because of the events and circumstances that don’t occur as frequently as expected.

4 PROJECT INTRODUCTION Absorbent Cotton also known as Surgical Cotton or Cotton Wool is mainly used for medical purposes in hospitals, nursing homes, dispensaries etc. Because of high fluid absorbency power, it is better known as absorbent cotton.

The absorbent cotton should be chemically inert and soft to give maximum protection and should not cause irritation. These properties can be achieved by manufacturing the product as per standard method of manufacture. The raw cotton is processed by series of steps which render the cotton hydro-phillic in character and free from external impurities needed to be fit for use in surgical dressings and personal hygiene. Absorbent Cotton is also used for making conventional type of Sanitary napkins or pads besides medical purposes. And fairly good quality of cotton wool is consumed in beauty parlours for removing make up and dirt etc.

With the development of medical facilities and growing awareness towards personal hygiene, the absorbent cotton industry registered steady growth rate in past and is picking up pace with the spread of education and upward economic growth of towns and villages. It is important to note that this unit should initially cater to the local market and finally export absorbent cotton because the demand in the export market is increasing at a higher rate.

The proposed project could be set up in Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Okara, and Faisalabad. The project will have a capacity to produce 1,000 kg per day on 8-hour shift and 330 working days per year.

The surgical cotton rolls would be manufactured in the sizes of 100 grams-1000 grams, depending on the client’s requirement.

The proposed project will be financed through both debt and equity and the ratio would be 50:50.

5 MARKET/INDUSTRY ANALYSIS In roughly two generations, from 1947 till 2010-11, the estimated population of Pakistan has grown from 32.7 million to roughly 187.34 million, which has made Pakistan the seventh most populous country in the world. This tremendous growth rate of population has hampered Pakistan’s attempts to become a prosperous country of South East Asia. More then 17.2% of the population of Pakistan lives below the poverty line. The government’s inability to provide basic necessities to the majority of population specially, those living in the rural areas of the country has not helped the cause.

5.1 Health System in Pakistan The health of 187 million citizens of Pakistan is among the poorest in the world and its number is growing at the rate of 1.57 per cent per annum. At this rate the population will double by the year 2027. Health is not only related to availability of health services to a

community but also to better hygienic atmosphere, which include clean drinking water, adequate dietary intake etc.

Government of Pakistan primarily did majority of investment in health sector by setting up hospitals, health centers in different areas of Pakistan, but these facilities are not up to standard and are very less in numbers as compared to population. Generally, Health care in Pakistan is government sponsored, but over the years private health care providers have become more common due to the tremendous increase in population.

Pakistan has made great strides in reducing mortality rates due to the increasing investment in health care by the private sector. It is, however, a constant struggle to meet the health care needs of the rapidly expanding population. The total allocation for health sector in the federal budget 2010-11 was Rs 17.0 billion

6.3 Cotton-Raw Material Cotton is a highly absorbent fiber and therefore suited very well for absorption of body fluids such as urine, blood and other fluids. It is used for bandages and wound dressings, absorbent pads (demake-up), tampons, sponges, swabs.

Cotton also offers the positive property of being a naturally breathing fiber, i.e. it largely prevents the passage of fluids, but lets gas and water vapor pass. With this property cotton is also predestined for surgical gowns and drapes.

The quick water absorption by cotton is caused by the structural network of micro fibrils; this makes cotton particularly interesting for applications where liquids have to be removed from surfaces (wipes). Moreover, cotton offers an excellent resistance to heat as well as dimensional stability and strength even at temperatures of up to 175°C. It is also speaking in favor of cotton that this fiber has renewable resources and is bio-degradable.

In the past, the use of cotton for the medical industry often failed because of the higher price as compared to viscose, for example. The price of cotton varies depending on quality and crop yield as it is a natural fiber.

It can however be observed already that, in the long term, the market share of cotton will rise because of its many advantages.

In summary, cotton is characterized by the following excellent properties

- Good absorbency of liquids - bio-degradable - breathable - drape - easily sterilized - heat-resisting - high wet strength - insulating properties - non allergenic - non-irritant - renewable resources - softness - water retaining capacity

Usually cotton with a staple length of 7-25 mm is used for non woven products, depending on the web forming process used and the intended application. The titer ranges from about 1.2 to1.8 denier. Where mainly volume and absorbency of the products are

PREF-114/ Sep, 2011 9

required, linters and comber noils are used. In most cases bleached cotton is employed which provides the fiber with good absorbency, but makes it more difficult to handle on a card because the fibers can break and naps can form.

6.4 Raw Material Cotton is regarded as the most important cash crop of Pakistan. The lint is used for the production of textile and stuffing material. Cotton produces raw material not only to the ginning factories and rapidly expending textile industry, but also the oil mills, which provides edible oil and oil cakes for milk animals as feed. Cotton the silver fiber held for the unique quality of its fiber viz: Strength, durability, ease of dyeing, color retaining properties and suitability for the manufacture of textile fabrics. The fiber is obtaining from the thick growth of wooly seed hair. The longer fiber known as lint is used for making house hold fabrics and the shorter fibers called linters are used for making pad and sterile absorbent surgical cotton.

Raw cotton received in bale or otherwise is opened in opener where it is loosened and dust and other foreign particles are removed.

Loosen cotton is then loaded into a kier and chemicals, such as caustic soda, soda ash, detergent etc., are added along with adequate water and steam boiled for about 3-4 hours. By this process most of the natural waxes and oils are removed while remaining foreign matter get soften and disintegrate. The treated cotton is transferred to washing tanks where it is washed thoroughly.

Washed cotton is bleached to remove radish brown colour developed due to chemical treatment. For this purpose, bleaching agent such as sodium hypo-chloride or hydrogen peroxide are used. The bleaching process improves whiteness assisting in disintegration of any remaining foreign matters.

The bleached cotton is thoroughly washed again to remove the chemicals. A little quantity of dilute hydro-chloride acid or sulphuric acid is also added to neutralize excess alkali. The water of cotton is removed with the help of hydro-extractor which is then sent to a wet cotton opening machine. The cotton so obtained is dried by passing through dryer or alternatively subjected to sun drying where provision for dryer is not made.

Dried cotton is sent to blow room where it is thoroughly opened and made into laps. The laps are then fed into carding machine wherein cotton is wrapped around rollers in thin layers. Cotton so obtained is compressed and rolled into rolls along with papers.

The rolls are then weighed and cut according to weight & sizes and labeled properly before packing in polythene sheets and heat sealed.

6.6 Quality Control and Standard Surgical cotton or absorbent cotton is covered under Drug Control Act 1976; hence it should be manufactured to meet its requirements.
