The grant began on June 1, 1992 and ended on June 30, 1995. This project involved the collaboration of the International Soybean Program (INTSOY), University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, and the Food Technology Research Institute (FTRI), Giza, Egypt. The goal was to strengthen the Egyptian soybean processing industry by introducing new and innovative processing methods and by developing nutritious soy foods. The project was designed to motivate Egyptian entrepreneurs by providing exposure to the potential of soybean processing as a base for agribusiness development; to strengthen the food processing capabilities of FTRI by establishing a center for development and dissemination of soybean processing technologies and food products; to develop the human resource of FTRI by formal and non-formal training of scientists, engineers, and technicians in soybean technology; and to carry out an economic evaluation of the Egyptian soybean sector. The proposed output is that the Egyptian private sector will stimulate the manufacture and sale of soybean foods. This output has not yet been realized, although most of the activities proposed in the original work plan were completed on schedule. In the "future" section of this report, there is a discussion of activities that need to be undertaken to achieve the output. The soybean processing facility was inaugurated by His Excellency, the Deputy Prime Minister, Dr. Youssef Wally, on May 19, 1994. The training of the FTRI staff was completed in July 1994. The first Egyptian private sector agribusiness workshop was held on May 15 and 16, 1995. The grant for this project was $1,234,700. Expenditures as of September 30, 1994, the end of the project date, were $1,124,955, which is a 91% rate of burn. There was a balance of $109,745. All line items had a positive balance. The rate of burn for the line items is as follows: salaries and wages 94%, fringe 91%, travel 75%, equipment 99%, other direct costs 73%, and indirect costs 74%. In general, the underspending for travel and other direct costs was a reflection that some of the planned activities had not been completed by September 30, 1994, as originally scheduled in the work plan. The project received a no-cost, nine-month extension. The total expenditures for the project were $1,234,700. FTRI and INTSOY proposed that this project be implemented in two phases for a period of seven years. Phase 1 lasted for three years and involved the following: the establishment of a soybean processing pilot plant and research kitchen at FTRI, product development of soybean foods for Egypt, training and interaction of the Egyptian private sector with American soybean processors. If, in the future, Phase 2 is implemented, emphasis will be given to assisting and promoting the commercial manufacture and home utilization of soybean foods in Egypt and extending the technology throughout the region. PROJECT WORK PLAN June 1, 1992 - September 30, 1994 Years one, two and three I. Project Title and Number Soybean Utilization Cooperative Technical Assistance Program 263-0152-G-00-2049-00 II. Investigators and Respective Collaborating Institutions Karl Weingartner, INTSOY/U.S.A. Ahmed Khorshed, FTRI/Egypt Wilmot Wijeratne, INTSOY/U.S.A. Kukiat Tanteeratarm, INTSOY/U.S.A. Nabih Ibrahim, FTRI/Egypt III. Major Objectives introduce new soybean processes at FTRI develop new soy foods using these processes expose the Egyptian private sector to new soybean processes promote new soybean processing technology IV. Brief Description of Previous Activities The original proposal submitted in 1990 described a four year project involving soybean production and utilization (extrusion/expelling). The final approved project involves an expanded soybean utilization technical assistance program for dry (extrusion/expelling) and wet (soymilk and dairy analogs) processing. The project duration is now two years and four months. V. Expected Output installation of extrusion/expelling pilot plant at FTRI establish a soymilk and dairy analog pilot plant at FTRI short term training of forty(maximum) entrepreneurs and scientists post-doctoral training for two to five scientists completion of two M.S. degree programs (Food Science, Agricultural Economics) new nutritious soy foods developed for home use in Egypt VI. Potential Impact create awareness of the economic and nutritional benefits of soybeans strengthen FTRI capabilities in soybean utilization stimulate the private sector to manufacture soy containing foods Expenditures Soybean Utilization Cooperative Technical Assistance Program Cairo, Egypt USAID Grant No. 263-0152-G-00-2049-00 June 1, 1992 to June 30, 1995 Salaries $220,130 Fringe 48,441 Travel 120,850 Equipment 619,155 Other Direct Costs 76,262 Indirect Costs 149.862 Total $1,234,700 NARP Inventory: Non-Expendable Equipment (Cost > $500) Location: Food Technology Research Institute, ARC, Giza Project Title: Soybean Utilization Cooperative Technical Assistance Program Project No. AID 263-0152-G-00-2049-00 o Procurement (Receipt) NARP# Major Commodity or Qty Total Cost Make/Model S/N User Date Date Major Equipment Arrived in Arrived at Egypt Site 236301 Seed cleaner 1 $9,790.00 Vac-a-way - FTRI 3/23/94 3/25/94 t } 236302 De-stoner 1 $9,926.00 Forsberg GS 13841 FTRI 1/22/94 1/25/95 236303 Dehuller-Hull Separator 1 $54,003.00 Takai 20BD 9912001 FTRI 4/5/94 4/7/94 236304 Roller Mill 1 $9,860.00
