Conclusion of the Container Terminal Investment Project.

Based on the extensive research and analysis performed this
endeavor has met all the steps required and objectives proposed.

Due to the analysis of the industry trends and services in this
country, we obtained firm conformation that reconfirms the
existence of a great unsatisfied demand for this facility to compete
successfully with other service providers.

The technical section proved that this terminal has an important
operation capacity for both reefers and dry cargoes for which it
can expand and continue providing a excellent service in the
future.

The terminal site is located in an industrial area surrounded by
large industrial companies that require imports, exports and
logistics services. It’s convenient location will ensure a rapid
service to them.

The economic section proves that the project is totally feasible. If
the recommendation is followed the ROI will be 45,71%
and the NPV will be US$ 26.546.433,00. The initial investment is
th
th
recovered between the 4 and 5 year.

The significant increase in the export revenue of quality meat from
US$300 thousand to US$1.6 billion in just 10 years demonstrate
that the service for refrigerated products in this industry will be in
much demand. That is also the reason why a packing house is
highly recommended to be built in that location.

The business of a terminal in Paraguay is not just what is quantified
here, but a terminal is a magnet for other related business which
just comes naturally.

Although the project requires a certain initial investment, the
return is also considerable within a reasonably time with minimum
risk.
