LFM Background

Lesotho Flour Mills started in operations on 26^th March 1979 whereby only wheat products were made. The government of Lesotho had desired to create a platform where Basotho’s produce could be consistently 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 30^th June 1998, due to a privatization exercise that the Government of Lesotho embarked on, Lesotho Flour Mills was partly sold to Seaboard Corporation.
