In the west bank, the total demand on mineral water is estimated to be 80,000(m3/year).
Currently, there are few factories specialized in filling mineral water bottles of the two sizes 1.5(L) and 0.5(L). However, these fadtories don't meet the local market demand and still mineral water bottles are imported from outside, which means there is potential for investment in this type of industry.
Based on above, this project presents a feasibilty study for establishing a mineral-water filling factory in the northern area of the West Bank. The study is conducted in sequential steps, the technical study was first completed, then the financial feasibility, after that the administrative system, quality system and safety system were also developed for the proposed factory.
It is found that the proposed mineral-water filling factory with a capacity of about one million liter per month is feasible, the total investment cost is around 3,000,000(NIS) and tha payback period is about 2 years.
