Small grain mills are busy local businesses. Households bring a bag of maize, wheat or other grain and pay a small fee to have it ground, while bigger mills sell flour by the bag to shops, bakeries and food stalls. Payments are frequent and small, and mostly in cash. Millers also buy grain from farmers at harvest and pay for power, fuel and repairs. A payments app that takes small milling fees quickly, handles bulk flour orders and lets millers pay farmers can win these mills, and every customer who pays sees your app.
