As part of its strategy for the entire food chain, Flour Mills Nigeria Plc developed what it called a “farm-to-table” model, a backward integration strategy. This ensures that farmers are provided with inputs, know-how, crops, and raw materials for the easy sourcing of raw materials for production.

One of the challenges with this strategy is that it may face competition with other FMCG companies such as Nestle, Unilever, Dangote Sugar, and Guinness Nigeria Plc, which have recently adopted this strategy. It gives farmers more bargaining power.

Although it is expensive to operate, this has helped Flour mills reduce their production costs and exposure to unnecessary foreign exchange risks.

Achievement

  • In April 2022, the company launched a wholly Made-in-Nigeria Brown Sugar to its product portfolio
  • Its 2021 operational review performance stated that the Group achieved impressive top-line growth for the year, aided by gains from its Agro-allied turnaround strategy.
  • The company has invested more than N150 billion over the past ten years to execute its core business strategy to aid the agricultural sector.
  • The company has expanded across all value chains resulting in an average revenue gain of 34% across all business sectors
  • The company announced a 47% increase in revenue to N523bn in its 2021 half-year report
  • As part of her Corporate Social Responsibility activities, the company commissioned a newly built vocational center for special needs children at the Methodist Primary School in Apapa in 2017

Performance

The company has a market capitalization of 111.94bn NGN and its current share price is N27.3. The first quarter results of 2022 show a revenue of N1,163,802,851 and a profit before tax of around N41 billion.

The global wheat value chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, left prices of wheat products to soar high. If this trend continues, the company may get substitutes or alternatives such as millet flour, cassava flour, etc.

This presents an opportunity for Flour Mills to consider including that in its product portfolio. Perhaps that could mitigate the risks associated with the threat to wheat prices.
