Jamaica Grain & Cereals Limited (JGCL), a member of the SEPROD Group of Companies, officially opened its newly refurbished, state-of the art Multi-Grain Milling Operation and launched the latest additions to its product portfolio on Thursday, March 15, 2018. The joint venture initiative with Seaboard Corporation also marks the company’s foray into flour production under the Gold Seal brand, a move which now sees the company producing counter flour, baking flour, whole wheat flour and specialty value-added products. The outlay also covers the construction of the Grain Terminal at the Port enabling JGCL to receive larger grain vessels and affording it the flexibility to purchase grain from the most advantageous sources. The investment will also allow JGCL to increase its cornmeal production to better satisfy demand throughout the Caribbean. With our investment in the Mill we are now able to meet the requirements for all corn-based imports throughout the region and can now meet the demand. Export for both milled corn and wheat will target the CARICOM market first, with the primary targets being the Snack Food Manufacturers and the Industrial and Commercial Bakers in the region.
