Milling & Grains – INVESTMENTS, FUNDING & M&A

The new greenfield mill is designed to process approximately 238,000 tonnes of wheat annually, making it a significant addition to Central Africa’s flour-processing infrastructure.

The project is expected to add new capacity to the country’s established flour milling industry.

The facility is now operating at full capacity, marking a significant development for local durum processing and strengthening the country’s ability to produce high-quality durum-based products domestically.

The commission approved the vertical merger subject to conditions aimed at preserving competition in the flour market, protecting rival bakeries and limiting merger-related job losses.

Construction is expected to begin in the coming weeks, with the facility targeted for completion in fall 2028.
