4.6 Djibouti Storage and Milling Company Contact List

Being a non-food (cereals grain) producer country, economic actors never invest in milling facilities. All over the country, only one milling machine is located inside the port of Djibouti. Furthermore, as the entrance in the port of Djibouti is open to limited users, this facility is not used by common individuals.
As already mentioned, Djibouti imports most of its food commodities for local consumption, as a result, cereals are being imported in break bulk as flour instead of grain in bulk.
