Alapros, one of the leading companies in the milling industry, has built a modern barley pro- cessing plant in Morocco, where cereal products play a very important role in the nutrition of the people. The facility opened in Casablanca, Mo- rocco's second-largest city and the center of the country's economy. The plant was founded on be- half of Les Grands Moulins Zine (LGMZ), one of Morocco's most important flour producers with a population of 37 million. Providing information about the completed proj- ect, Alapros Chairman Mehmet Alapala stated that they were happy to provide a modern facility to Casablanca, the largest city in the Moorish region and one of the most economically and demo- graphically important centers of the African con- tinent.
