Hongdefa at the Inauguration of Kenya’s 150-Ton Corn Milling Plant: A Milestone in Global Agri-Processing Collaboration

This week, our Hongdefa team had the privilege of standing alongside partners, local leaders, and industry innovators in Thika, Kenya, for the grand opening of a state-of-the-art 150-ton corn milling plant—a project that marks not just a facility’s launch, but a new chapter in agri-processing excellence across East Africa.

This landmark plant, powered by Hongdefa’s advanced milling technology, is more than machinery: it’s a testament to our commitment to scalable, reliable solutions tailored to regional needs. Designed to process 150 tons of corn daily, it will transform raw harvests into high-quality flour, boosting local food security, creating jobs, and empowering smallholder farmers by expanding market access.

For Hongdefa, this achievement is the result of deep collaboration. Over the years, our engineers worked hand-in-hand with Kenyan processors, understanding their challenges—from optimizing yield to adapting to local grain varieties—and refining the plant’s design to deliver unmatched efficiency. The outcome? A facility that reduces waste by 20%, cuts energy costs by 15%, and ensures consistent flour quality, even under demanding conditions.

At the opening ceremony, the energy was electric. Local millers shared how this plant will scale their businesses; government representatives highlighted its role in Kenya’s agricultural modernization agenda; and we, at Hongdefa, felt immense pride in knowing our technology is driving tangible progress.

This isn’t just a win for Thika—it’s a blueprint for what global partnerships can achieve. For businesses in Africa, Asia, or beyond looking to upgrade their milling operations, we’re here to ask: What could your next milestone be?

Hongdefa doesn’t just build machines—we build partnerships that grow communities, economies, and opportunities.
