ROFF MAIZE MILLS

Machines that drive success

Welcome to the Roff maize milling page. We have over 30 years of expertise in manufacturing high-quality maize mills tailored for African conditions. Our mills boast exceptional extraction rates, a crucial factor for milling entrepreneurs as it directly impacts profitability. Maize is a staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa, and provides sustenance to millions of people across the region. Due to Africa’s growing population and increasing urbanisation, the demand for maize products is on the rise – presenting a golden opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors to enter the maize milling industry on the African continent. Investing in a maize milling plant not only makes business sense, but also makes a vital contribution to food security and job creation in communities. Explore our range of maize milling solutions for both commercial and community millers.

Commercial mills produce packaged maize meal which is sold in shops and supermarkets, either locally, distributed to other areas, or exported.

Community maize milling

Community millers charge a service fee to mill maize for community members into maize meal, which is why it is known as community, service or Posho milling.
