Maize and wheat are two important grains for the nutrition of the population. Both crops have high yields and they are available in many African countries. Maize meal (also known as ugali, ngima, obusuma, mealie meal) are highly consumed by customers in East and Southern Africa Regions.

Following three reasons make maize and wheat milling business a very lucrative opportunity in the Sun-Saharan African countries:

• Maize and wheat are already grown in many African countries. There is access to raw material at a reasonable price level.
• Secondly, consumer taste for maize meal and wheat flour is already high. The consumer demand is also increasing thanks to the population increase. In Tanzania, Ugali (maize flour) is a traditional dish and it is consumed daily.
• Thirdly, the operations to operate a mill are not very complicated. The machines used in the factories are durable and the workers can work after receiving some training.

Milling business is accessible to all businessmen and businesswomen in Africa. The only requirements are flat land and access to electricity. Maize and wheat are sourced from local farmers in rural areas. The final products are packed according to your needs (1kg – 5kg – 10kg – 50kg).
