Milling capacity within Chad is extremely limited. The milling facilities that do exist are for small and local production. Milling machines are not produced locally with supply coming from Ghana and Burkina Faso primarily. The mills mentioned below are two examples of the type of milling capacity that currently exists in Chad. Despite being heavily reliant on agricultural production for income generation, medium-sized to large scale mills are not operational in rural or urban (including the capital N’Djamena) areas. Limited milling capacity needs to be taken into consideration while planning commercial and humanitarian operations.

Summary of Role and Services |
||
|
AFAP uses their milling equipment to manufacture enriched flour for children from 0 to 24 months old. The group originated from a collaboration between the NGO Experts-Solidaires and 7 groups of women farmers (200 women in total) in Pala in the Southwest of Chad. The activities planned in this project included training in agro-food processing, assistance in acquiring equipment, support to the 7 groups for the management and marketing of products, as well as a social component to limit violence against women. See the link here for more details. |
