About Somdia

Driven by the values of responsibility and commitment, Somdia Group has been working for over fifty years towards food sovereignty in the six African countries in which it operates.

As a key player in the production and marketing of sugar and flour, the Group is pursuing its development and diversification, supported by a renewed governance in 2022.
