There are hundreds of rice and flour mills in the country (as well as coconut, maize and other agricultural products), thus
the supplies are mainly done through wholesalers than at the mills. Regarding flour processed supplies, it can aslo
managed through food processing factories (high energy biscuits factories for example), some of them being directly
linked to a mill.
Complete lists of mills and food processing factories can easily be found at the divisional level (contacting the local
Chambers of Commerce, for eample) or by contacting the professional organizations or trade-unions. The lists here
under are the suppliers short listed by WFP.
