Abstract: The main aim of this study was to evaluate financial viability of olive oil mills enterprise. Thirty olive mills were investigated. A questionnaire was designed to obtain information from mills owners. The information obtained was mainly related to costs and returns. Cash flows were derived from costs and returns items of the enterprise. Three main discounted measures of project worth were used; these were Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and the Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C). The results of this study revealed that olive mills could be a viable encouraging, and profitable enterprise because of its capability to generate a highly positive and acceptable NPV (837966.05 JDs). The IRR (85%) and B/C ratio (2.3) values for this enterprise were economically accepted.
