Why and How to Run Maize Milling Machine Business

Africa is the continent where the economy is relatively backward. To promote its economic development, we should begin from the food problem solving. Maize flour milling in many African countries presents huge business opportunities. In Africa, maize milling machine is among the most traditional and necessary units. Taking into consideration the African market needs and market requirement, maize milling machine is considered to become more and more popular. It can not only be established at a lower cost but is versatile as well - since maize flour can be obtained from it for commercial purposes and it can also take up job work opportunities.

With a growing population, there is scope for establishing maize milling machine or plant in important commercial centres in the rural or urban areas. There are two approaches of running a MAIZE MILLING MACHINE business:

The first one is where the consumers bring with maize or grains for grinding, the mill owner charges at a definite rate either in terms of money or a part of grinded grains (the rate is usually decided on per kg basis). Most of small maize mills (capacity less than 1,000 Kgs/day) are involved in such practices only.

The second approach is where the own buys maize grains, mills them into flour, packages the flour and sells maize flour to the retailers or consumers. This is the best option for medium scale corn milling machine (capacity over 1000 Kgs/day).

Therefore, to start the maize milling machine business in Africa, we should make it clear about the project scale, the business plan, which can guide us in planning our maize milling machine business.
