Lesotho Flour Mills started in operations on 26th March 1979 whereby only wheat products were made. The government of Lesotho had desired to create a platform where Basotho’s produce could be consistent sold by farmers with a view to commercialize agriculture. In 1982, Lesotho Flour Mills incorporated Lesotho Sugar Packers thereby initiating a sugar packaging business, that was later followed by the establishment of a Maize Mill in 1986 as the company continued to grow. In 1989, a new feed (Lesotho farm feed mills) mill section was established in order to produce animal feeds. On 30th June 1998, due to a privatization exercise that the Government of Lesotho embarked on, Lesotho Flour Mills was partly sold to Seaboard Corporation which then began to hold 51% shares of the company while the government held 49% shares. This is the status of the company as at today.
