Bolux calls for protection of domestic market

At the official opening of the new wheat mill in Ramotswa on Tuesday, Bolux Group managing director Christo Ellis said although the new facility has enhanced their capacity, there are still threats from Botswana’s neighbour.

“Unfortunately, the threat of big brother next door, with a mature milling industry and years ahead of the Botswana industry with regard to investment in efficiencies and downstream facilities, like bakeries, frozen dough, pastries, pies, and pasta is real,” he said.
