Mogotsi Morekwe Mills: Powering Botswana’s Grain Economy Since 1992

Mogotsi Morekwe Mills: Powering Botswana’s Grain Economy Since 1992. In the heart of Mochudi’s Mosanta/Sethobong ward lies a homegrown business that has quietly but consistently contributed to Botswana’s food industry for over three decades. Mogotsi Morekwe Mills, established in 1992, has become a trusted name in the milling, manufacturing, and distribution of traditional grain products.

Employing 34 staff members, the company specialises in the processing of indigenous grains, offering a variety of sorghum and millet-based products. These include millet flour, sorghum flour, and traditional staples such as ntlatlawane, mosutlhane, and boleta — all central to many Batswana diets.

Their ability to maintain quality and consistency over the years has helped them earn shelf space in major national retailers, including Choppies Hypers and SquareMart Foodlovers. This not only reflects the trust consumers place in the brand but also illustrates the growing market for local, nutritious food products.

As Botswana continues to focus on diversifying its economy and supporting local industries, Mogotsi Morekwe Mills stands as a strong example of how agro-processing businesses can succeed by embracing local raw materials and traditional tastes. Entrepreneurs across the country can draw inspiration from the company’s long-term vision, rooted in community and quality.

For emerging agro-processors, Mogotsi Morekwe Mills offers valuable lessons in market access, consistent production, and staying connected to cultural food preferences. Their presence in national supermarkets proves that locally made products can compete on quality and shelf appeal.
