Minoloc Flour Mill

The Minoloc Flour Mill, located in Muramvya, is one of Burundi's largest food processing facilities. It plays a central role in national food security by processing locally grown grains, such as maize and wheat, into high-quality flour. The company, Minoloc (Minoterie Locale), was established to reduce the country's dependence on expensive flour imports and to provide a reliable market for Burundian farmers. The mill is equipped with modern grinding and packaging machinery, producing various grades of flour for household use as well as for bakeries across the nation. In addition to flour production, the facility generates valuable by-products like bran, which is used as nutrient-rich animal feed in regional livestock farming. The mill is a key economic driver in the Muramvya Province, creating numerous direct and indirect jobs in logistics and agriculture. Rigorous quality controls ensure that the flour meets national health and safety standards. By promoting local production, the mill also strengthens the purchasing power of farmers and helps stabilize prices for essential food staples in the region.
