Hello Nairalanders, Your candid contributions will be appreciated.

I understand that we have some flour producing companies in Nigeria. Eg. Dangote flour-mill. But I'd like to know if the flours used for the production of wheat(Bread) are completely produced in Nigeria or part of it is being imported?

I could get some information online, but practical knowledge is what I need now.

If really they are imported, I'm looking for ways this imported flour could be substituted with locally made flour to strengthen the Economy of Nigeria.
Thanks

All the flour is milled in Nigeria but the wheat is imported

I am very interested in this topic.

Please are you sure about the wheat being imported?

yes,all wheat for bread making flour are imported,they are soft wheat high in gluten(protein) that is essential in bread making,this type of wheat doesn't grow in Nigeria,most are imported from USA AND CANADA.Only Durum wheat survive in Nigeria(this type of wheat can be use for spag,noddles and biscuit)
