The Chief Executive Officer, Consumer Goods Business, Tolaram West Africa, the parent company of De United Food Industries Limited, Pawan Sharma, speaks on government support for the manufacturing sector and the group’s continuous effort to boost backward integration. Raheem Akingbolu brings the excerpts.

That was why we invested in the different value chains like packaging, palm oil refinery and flour milling.
