FUTURE PLANS
With the flour industry shifting towards
healthier and gluten-free products, Nation-
al Flour Mills have embarked on creating
new brands and mixes that will please their
health-conscious consumers. The same is
being done with their rice products, which
they are looking to improve and generate
healthier products.
Currently, the animal feed segment of the
business is booming, and with plans to mod-
ernize the equipment, the team hopes to
boost their profitability and competitiveness
in order to gain market share throughout the
region.
With the whole team focusing on productiv-
ity and profitability, theMills are expected to
increase their revenue in comparison to pre-
vious years and become a more commercially
driven successful business. If successful, the
mills will be a force to be reckoned with in
their industry for many years to come.
