DRC: the Grand Moulin de Kinshasa produces 30,000 tonnes of flour per month, well above local demand
Kinshasa, October 5, 2025 - The Grand Moulin de Kinshasa (GMK) now produces 30,000 tonnes of wheat flour each month, while local demand is estimated at 20,000 tonnes, said Foreign Trade Minister Julien Paluku during his visit to the factory's facilities on 7 October in Ngaliema.
