The strategies basically entail working in hand in hand with its partners in trade and other important chain operators who form a vital part of the company towards accomplishing its main aim of “feeding the nation every day”, Gbedebo said.
Earlier on while speaking on the theme of the dealers’ forum “Break through: Partnering for Growth”, Gbedebo explained that the company is in a position where the set target is achievable because right now it has multi-billion naira investments and strong business relationship with its trade partners.
“We are determined to do business in order to double our business in the next five years. That has been our vision in FMN, even beyond that; we are leaders in any market that we choose to operate. We have the biggest mill in the world. We have the biggest pasta factory in the whole of Africa. We are the biggest feed miller in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.
“So that is our thinking in business. We also think that we have not achieved the target yet in our business but we know that we cannot do it alone and we need the support of everybody in the family to achieve this laudable ambition.”
