Tomato paste plant business plan — bankable financial plan with DSCR
MCF Technology prepares the financial plan with the same engineering team that designs the plant, so the business plan and the technical scope cannot diverge. The model covers CAPEX, working capital for the campaign, revenue, EBITDA, a 3–10 year debt structure with grace period, DSCR by year and break-even revenue.
What MCF Technology supplies
- CAPEX schedule aligned with the construction and commissioning plan
- Campaign working capital and seasonality of cash flow
- Revenue model on bulk and packaged paste
- Operating cost model with energy and labour sensitivity
- Debt structure: 3–10 year tenor, grace period, amortisation profile
- DSCR by year, break-even revenue and bankability grade A–D
Typical outputs
- Bank-ready financial model
- DSCR and covenant profile
- Break-even revenue and safety margin
- Bankability grade with risk matrix

From idea to commissioned plant, in one engineering path
Every commercial page on this site is connected to the same working method: process engineering, capacity sizing, CAPEX and a bankable financial plan over 3–10 years are produced together, not in sequence by different suppliers.

Capacity → CAPEX → payback
From CAPEX to DSCR
The business plan starts from the same capacity / CAPEX grid and adds the debt structure: 3–10 year tenor, grace period during construction, DSCR and break-even revenue per year.
| Capacity | Turnkey CAPEX | Annual output | EBITDA | Payback | Commissioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 t/h fresh tomato | €4.5 – 6.5 million | 9 000 – 12 000 t/year of 30 °Brix paste | 18 – 24% of revenue | 4.5 – 6 years | 12 – 15 months contract-to-commissioning |
| 60 t/h fresh tomato | €8 – 11 million | 19 000 – 24 000 t/year of 30 °Brix paste | 20 – 26% of revenue | 4 – 5.5 years | 14 – 18 months contract-to-commissioning |
| 120 t/h fresh tomato | €14 – 19 million | 38 000 – 48 000 t/year of 30 °Brix paste | 22 – 28% of revenue | 3.5 – 5 years | 16 – 20 months contract-to-commissioning |
Assumptions behind the figures
- Campaign of 90–110 days per year, 20–22 productive hours per day.
- Hot break line, evaporation to 28–30 °Brix, aseptic filling in 220 L bag-in-drum or 1 000 L IBC.
- Yield 5.5–6.5 t of fresh tomato per tonne of 30 °Brix paste, depending on inbound °Brix.
- CAPEX is turnkey scope: process equipment, automation, installation, commissioning and training; civil works and land excluded.
- EBITDA and payback assume export bulk paste pricing and no financing cost inside the operating margin.
From range to committed scenario
Indicative engineering ranges used by MCF Technology for budget screening. Final CAPEX, EBITDA and payback are fixed only in the feasibility study, once inbound °Brix, campaign length, utilities cost and target packaging are confirmed.

Technical FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes a business plan bankable?
Consistency between technical scope and numbers, explicit assumptions, a DSCR above the lender's threshold across the amortisation profile, working capital modelled for the campaign, and sensitivity analysis on the variables that actually move — °Brix, energy tariff and paste price.
What DSCR should the model show?
Lenders commonly require a minimum DSCR of 1.20–1.30. MCF reports DSCR by year with the break-even revenue at DSCR 1.00, so the safety margin is visible rather than implied.
What debt tenor is realistic?
3–10 years depending on lender, country and guarantees, usually with a grace period covering construction and the first campaign.
Does MCF guarantee the projected results?
No. The model is a projection built on declared assumptions and indicative engineering ranges; MCF guarantees the technical performance of the plant under contract, not market prices or yields.
Can the plan support a grant or export-credit application?
Yes. The structure follows what development funds, export credit agencies and commercial lenders request, and the technical annexes come from the same feasibility study.
Who prepares it?
The MCF engineering and financial team together, using the plant's own mass balance and CAPEX schedule as the only source of numbers.
