Millers will continue milling premium flour alongside the brands covered under the subsidy scheme. High-end flour is not covered under the subsidy scheme as is the case with the other brands.

There have been fears that premium flour like Amaize and Hostess, which retails at a higher price than the other brands will be absent from the shelves as was the case in 2017 when millers stopped processing them following the introduction of a subsidy scheme by the government.
