The grain production industry in Burundi is on a very small scale with food production generally focused on pulses, roots and tubers (potatoes), fruit and vegetables. However, there are reasonable quantities of rice and maize grown which is milled at small facilities in the district towns. Apart from MINOLACS, the milling facilities available in the country are mostly small operations milling for household consumption.
