Middlemen – buy grain at the lowest price.
Processing companies – turn grain into flour and increase its value several times.
Traders – control the market and influence grain prices.
And what does the farmer get?
Only a fraction of the final flour price, while others on the market earn more on his hard work.
A logical solution: processing grain into flour independently.
But is it realistic? Let’s break it down with numbers.

The Main Myths About Milling
Many farmers believe that starting a milling business requires:
Huge facilities.
Expensive equipment.
Complicated certification process.
Additional employees.
But modern mills have simplified this process.
For example, The Miller D-70S stone mill allows you to turn grain into high-quality flour right on the farm, without major startup costs.
Compact size – no need for a separate room.
Automated process – no extra workers required.
Energy efficiency – the mill operates with minimal electricity consumption.
Now, let’s move on to the most interesting part – profit calculations.
1 ton of wheat yields 750 kg of flour.
1 ton of grain (2024 price) ≈ 9,000 UAH.
750 kg of flour can be sold for 20,000 UAH.
Total profit after processing:
Flour = ≈ 20,000 UAH
Now imagine a farmer with 70 tons of wheat.
Selling the grain = ≈ 490,000 UAH.
Milling it into flour = ≈ 1,400,000 UAH.
The profit more than doubles.
The cost of the mill pays off in 3-5 months, if you process up to three tons of grain per week.
No extra maintenance costs – millstones work for years without replacement.
Energy savings due to frequency converter technology.
Vasyl’ is a farmer who had been selling grain to traders for years.
In 2023, he decided to mill part of his harvest into flour and sell it to local bakeries.
What he gained:
Regular clients – bakeries, stores, and pastry shops.
A 2.5x income increase – flour sells for much more than raw grain.
Pricing flexibility – he now sets his own price, rather than relying on traders.
His secret? The Miller D-70S mill, which allowed him to economically and efficiently process grain into fresh, high-quality flour.
A farmer can sell not just raw materials, but a finished product, significantly increasing his profit.
Why choose The Miller mill?
Capacity of up to 150 kg/hour – ideal for medium and large farms.
Automated process – minimal labor costs.
Energy-saving – reduces electricity expenses.
Compact design – no separate facility required.
